– See: Arterial Development of the Limbs: – Embryologic Anatomy: – subclavian artery projects into early upper limb bud in axial position, its proximal portion becoming subclavian-axillary- brachial trunk, & its distal portion becoming interosseous artery that initially supplies a plexus of arteries in the primitive hand; … Read more
– Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Combined Lesions of the Median and Ulnar Nerves: – High Median Nerve Lesions – Low Median Nerve Lesions – Median Nerve Block – Median Nerve Injuries at the Wrist – Martin Gruber Anastomosis – Anatomy: … Read more
– Anatomy and Function: (see medial compartment of knee / patellar subluxation); – medial patellofemoral ligament, a distinct condensation of capsular fibers in coronal plane which originates at the medial epicondyle (adductor tubercle and adductor tendon) as well as the MCL; – deep fascia and aponeurotic edge of … Read more
– Discussion: – motivation: w/ maximal elbow flexion, high extraneural pressures occur at the medial epicondyle; – hence the medial epicondyle is a major impinging structure which forces the ulnar nerve to make a sharp turn whenever the elbow is maximally flexed; – medial … Read more
– See: Meniscal Menu: – Discussion: – medial meniscus is “C shaped”, whereas lateral meniscus is is “O shaped” and is more sharply curved; – medial meniscus is crescentric in structure, but its anterior & posterior extensions have a wider separation on the lateral articular … Read more
– See: Medial Approach: – Discussion: – medial epicondyle is common origin of several flexor muscles of hand and wrist; – when medial epicondyle is frxed, flexor muscles pull fragment distally; – during surgical procedure care must be made to protect ulnar nerve; – Fixation Stratedgy: – … Read more
– See: – Pediatric Elbow Injuries – distal humeral physeal separation – lateral condyle frx, pediatric – supracondylar frx of humerus – Discussion: – third most common pediatric elbow frx (5-10%) (behind supracondylar and lateral condylar fractures); – most common between ages of 9 … Read more
– Discussion: – may begin as a microtear between the pronator teres and the FCR; – often associated w/ ulnar neuritis (see cubital tunnel); – Exam: – tenderness over the origin of the forearm flexors; – resisted pronation and/or flexion will elicit pain in most patients; … Read more
– Anatomy: – innervation: (C8, T1); – medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve descends in the arm anterior and medial to brachial artery; – at distal to mid forearm level, nerve emerges from under brachial fascia adjacent to basilic vein; – it innervates the skin of anterior & medial … Read more
