One of your patients ruptured the tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii. Although he is bothered by the unattractive bulge that formed in his anterior arm, he is surprised to find that he has lost little flexor strength. You confirm that the brachialis muscle has greater leverage at the joint and therefore is the more powerful flexor of the elbow. Where does the brachialis insert? A. Radial tuberosity B. Ulnar tuberosity C. Coronoid process D. Bicipital aponeurosis E. Olecranon

B The brachialis muscle inserts on the ulnar tuberosity of the ulna A The biceps brachii inserts on the radial tuberosity.

An articular disk separates the radius and ulna. E. The subluxation of the radial head results from a tear of the radial collateral ligament.

A The annular ligament forms a circular cuff around the radial head that allows the bone to rotate in the joint B The hinge-type joint between the radius and capitullum of the humerus is the humeroradial joint. C The biceps brachii inserts on the tuberosity of the radius and therefore supinates the joint when contracted. D In the proximal radioulnar joint the radius articulates at the radial notch of the ulna. An articular disk separates the radius and ulna in the distal radioulnar joint. E Subluxation of the radial head results from a laxity of the annular ligament.

You examine a 14-year-old girl in the emergency department. She has a puncture wound from a dog bite in the flesh over the middle phalange of her 5th digit. The incident occurred 2 days ago, and the finger is inflamed and likely infected. What are your thoughts regarding possible spread of the infection via the synovial sheath? A. It will spread into the superficial space on the dorsum of the hand. B. It will spread to the common flexor sheath in the wrist. C. It will spread to the adjacent finger. D. It will remain confined to the sheath of the infected finger. E. A and B are correct.

B The synovial sheath of the 5th digit normally communicates with the common synovial sheath A The synovial sheath of the 5th digit communicates with the common synovial sheath and with that of the thumb, but it does not normally communicate with the superficial space on the dorsum of the hand. C The synovial sheaths of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th digits do not normally communicate with any other tendon sheaths. It is unlikely the infection will spread to these fingers. D Although the infection may remain confined to the infected finger, the synovial sheath of the 5th digit communicates with that of the thumb and with the common tendon sheath. Therefore, the concern is that it will spread via this route to the thumb, wrist, and forearm. E The synovial sheath of the 5th digit normally communicates with the common flexor sheath at the wrist but not with the superficial space on the dorsum of the hand.

D Veins of the deep venous system travel with the arteries as paired accompanying veins. There is no superficial arterial system that accompanies the superficial veins. E Veins of the limbs have unidirectional valves that prevent pooling of blood and facilitate flow back toward the heart.

A young man suffered a crushing injury to his right arm, fracturing his humerus at midshaft and damaging the nerve that runs in the posterior compartment. What functional loss would you expect from this injury? A. Inability to extend the elbow B. Inability to supinate the hand C. Inability to abduct the thumb D. Inability to extend the wrist E. All of the above

D Damage to the radial nerve from a midhumeral fracture results in loss of innervation to the extensor carpi radialis and extensor carpi ulnaris A The branches of the radial nerve to the triceps brachii arise high in the arm, so a midhumeral lesion of the nerve would not affect the function of this muscle. B The radial nerve innervates only one of the muscles that supinate the hand, the supinator. The biceps brachii, also a supinator, is innervated by the musculocutaneous nerve. C Abduction of the thumb is weakened by damage to the radial nerve. E A, B, and C are incorrect.

E The palmaris longus passes superficial to the flexor retinaculum to insert into the palmar aponeurosis.

A young woman riding a 10-speed bicycle accidentally engaged the front brake, was thrown over the handlebars, and landed on her outstretched hands. In the emergency department, imaging of the elbow revealed a subtle fracture of the radial neck that allowed proximal movement of the radius relative to the ulna, which also suggested a tear in the interosseous membrane. Which movements were most impaired by this injury? A. Flexion of the wrist B. Extension of the elbow C. Extension of the digits D. Abduction of the thumb E. Adduction of the thumb

D The function of the abductor pollicis muscle, the primary abductor of the thumb, would be greatly impaired because it originates on the interosseous membrane A The flexor carpi radialis and flexor carpi ulnaris originate from the medial epicondyle of the humerus and olecranon of the ulna and would be unaffected by this injury. B The triceps brachii, which extends the elbow, inserts on the olecranon. It would not be impaired by this injury. C The extensor digitorum originates from the humerus and ulna and would be unaffected by this injury. E The adductor of the thumb, adductor pollicis, attaches to the 2nd and 3rd metacarpals and the capitate. It would not be affected by this injury.

During a radical mastectomy on a 50-year-old woman, the surgeon does a careful but thorough axillary node dissection. What nerve lies along the medial wall of the axilla and is particularly vulnerable during this procedure? A. Lateral branch of posterior intercostal B. Musculocutaneous C. Lateral pectoral D. Long thoracic E. Dorsal scapular

D The long thoracic nerve runs superficial to, and innervates, the serratus anterior, which forms the medial wall of the axilla. Injury to this nerve can result in a "winged" scapula (Section 14.1a). A In the axilla the intercostal nerves run deep to the serratus anterior and external intercostal muscles and are not vulnerable to injury. B The musculocutaneous nerve leaves the axilla just inferior to the glenohumeral joint where it enters the coracobrachialis muscle. C The lateral pectoral nerve passes anteriorly to penetrate the pectoralis major muscle. E The dorsal scapular nerve descends posteriorly from the upper

17. Damage to which nerve would most affect elbow flexion? A. Radial nerve B. Ulnar nerve C. Median nerve D. Musculocutaneous nerve E. Axillary nerve

D The musculocutaneous nerve innervates the biceps brachii and brachialis muscles, the primary flexors of the elbow. There would also be loss of sensation to the skin of the lateral forearm (Sections 14.2c and 14.3a). A Damage to the radial nerve results in wrist drop and loss of sensation to the dorsum of the hand and the proximal segments of the 1st through 3rd digits and half of the 4th digit. B Damage to the ulnar nerve may cause paresthesia (numbness and tingling) in the forearm, 4th and 5th fingers, or paralysis of the intrinsic muscles of the hand (so-called claw hand deformity). C Damage to the median nerve above the cubital fossa will cause the inability to flex the proximal interphalangeal joint of the 1st to 3rd digits and the inability to flex the distal interphalangeal joints of the 2nd and 3rd digits. This results in "benediction hand" (2nd and 3rd finger are partially extended) when trying to form a fist. It also causes the inability to flex the terminal phalanx of the thumb (due to damage of flexor pollicis longus) and loss of sensation over the lateral aspect of the hand. E Damage to the axillary nerve causes paralysis of the deltoid muscle resulting in weakened flexion and extension

While moonlighting in the emergency department one night, you treat a 14- year-old gang member who was stabbed in the supraclavicular region of the neck 2 cm above the middle third of the clavicle. A chest X-ray confirms that he has a pneumothorax. What other structure could be injured in this area? A. Axillary nerve B. Pectoralis minor C. Subscapular artery D. Posterior cord of the brachial plexus E. Cephalic vein

D The posterior cord is part of the supraclavicular brachial plexus and could be injured in the area (Section 13.4d). A The terminal nerves of the brachial plexus form below the clavicle. Although damage to the supraclavicular plexus could affect the axillary nerve, the stab wound would not directly damage the nerve itself. B The pectoralis minor attaches to the coracoid process, which lies below the middle part of the clavicle. C The subscapular artery is a branch of the distal part of the axillary artery, which is infraclavicular. E The cephalic vein drains into the axillary vein below the clavicle and most likely would not be affected by this injury.

As a second-year resident doing a pediatric surgery rotation, you set up an arterial line on your 6-year-old patient prior to surgery. You choose the radial artery of her left (nondominant) hand. Because you know that the procedure can result in occlusion of the artery, you verify that the collateral circulation to the hand is patent. The radial artery A. forms the superficial arch of the hand B. passes superficial to the anatomic snuffbox C. supplies the muscles of the posterior compartment through its posterior interosseous branch D. supplies the princeps pollicis artery of the thumb E. lies medial to the tendon of the flexor carpi radialis in the wrist

D The princeps pollicis arises from the radial artery at the base of the 1st metacarpal and divides into two digital arteries of the thumb (Section 13.4a). A The ulnar artery forms the superficial palmar arch. The radial artery forms the deep palmar arch. B The radial artery courses along the floor of the anatomic snuffbox. C The posterior interosseous artery, which supplies muscles of the posterior forearm compartment, arises from the common interosseous artery, a branch of the ulnar artery in the cubital fossa. E The radial artery lies lateral to the tendon of the flexor carpi radialis at the wrist.

The serratus anterior muscle A. forms a scapulothoracic joint with the external intercostal muscles B. is innervated by a branch of the posterior cord C. elevates the scapula off the thoracic wall D. rotates the scapula laterally during abduction of the arm above the horizontal plane E. originates from the subscapular fossa

D The serratus anterior pulls the inferior angle of the scapula laterally when the glenohumeral joint is abducted above the horizontal plane (Sections 14.1a and 14.1b). A The scapulothoracic joint is a functional relationship between the serratus anterior and subscapularis muscles. B The long thoracic nerve, which innervates the serratus anterior muscle, arises directly from the C5-C7 roots of the brachial plexus. C The serratus anterior supports the scapula against the thoracic wall. Denervation of the muscle allows the scapula to lift away from the thoracic wall, a condition known as a "winged" scapula. E The serratus anterior originates from the entire medial border of the scapula.

One of your orthopedic colleagues introduces you, an anatomist, to his patient, a famous baseball pitcher, who suffers from chronic rotator cuff pain. He asks you to demonstrate the rotator cuff on a cadaver specimen and explain the anatomy of this type of injury. You tell him the following: A. Tendons of the rotator cuff muscles insert onto the capsule of the glenohumeral joint. B. The supraspinatus tendon passes through the subacromial space between the shoulder joint and the coracoacromial arch. C. An abnormal communication between the subacromial bursa and glenohumeral joint cavity can result from rupture of the supraspinatus tendon. D. Rupture of the supraspinatus tendon will impair the patient's ability to initiate abduction of the arm. E. All the above

E All of the rotator cuff muscles insert on the fibrous capsule of the glenohumeral joint. The supraspinatus muscle, the most frequently involved in rotator cuff tears, passes through the narrow subacromial space and, with repetitive use, becomes frayed. Rupture of the tendon allows the overlying bursa to communicate with the joint cavity and impairs the initial phase of abduction. Later phases of abduction remain intact through the action of the deltoid muscle (Sections 14.2b and 14.2c). A The tendons of the rotator cuff muscles insert on, and reinforce, the fibrous capsule of the joint. B through D are also correct (E). B The supraspinatus tendon and subacromial bursa pass through the narrow subacromial space between the capsule of the shoulder joint and the coracoacromial arch. A, C, and D are also correct (E). C The supraspinatus tendon separates the subacromial and subdeltoid bursae from the joint cavity. With rupture of the tendon, a communication between the bursae and joint cavity may result. A, B, and D are also correct (E). D The deltoid is the primary abductor of the glenohumeral joint, but the supraspinatus assists in the first 15 degrees of abduction. A through C are also correct (E).

The flexor retinaculum A. forms the floor of the ulnar tunnel B. forms the roof of the carpal tunnel C. is continuous with the palmar aponeurosis D. is continuous with the palmaris longus E. All the above

E The flexor retinaculum forms the roof of the carpal tunnel and floor of the ulnar tunnel. As a thickening of the deep fascia of the palm, it is continuous with the palmar aponeurosis, palmaris longus, transverse metacarpal ligament, and fibrous digital sheaths (Sections 14.5b and 14.6c). A The flexor retinaculum forms the floor of the ulnar tunnel; the palmar carpal ligament form its roof. B through D are also correct (E). B The carpal tunnel is a fascio-osseous tunnel. Carpal bones form the floor and sides; the flexor retinaculum forms the roof. A, C, and D are also correct (E). C The flexor retinaculum is continuous with the tough palmar aponeurosis of the hand. A, B, and D are also correct (E). D The palmaris longus passes over the carpal tunnel and inserts on the flexor

Which of the following bones articulates with the radius at the wrist? A. Pisiform B. Hamate C. Capitate D. Trapezium E. Scaphoid

E The radius articulates distally with the scaphoid and lunate bones of the wrist (Section 14.5a). A The pisiform on the medial side of the wrist articulates with the triquetrum. B The hamate articulates with the capitate, lunate, triquetrum, and 4th and 5th metacarpal bones. C The capitate articulates with the hamate, trapezoid, scaphoid, lunate, and 3rd metacarpal. D The trapezium articulates with the trapezoid, scaphoid, and 1st metacarpal.

Which of the following muscles has no attachment on the humerus? A. Deltoid B. Coracobrachialis C. Flexor digitorum superficialis D. Pronator teres E. Biceps brachii

E The two heads of the biceps brachii originate on the supraglenoid tubercle and coracoid process of the scapula and insert on the radial tuberosity of the radius (Sections 14.2c and 14.3a). A The deltoid originates along the scapular spine and clavicle and inserts on the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus. B The coracobrachialis originates on the coracoid process of the scapula and inserts on the shaft of the humerus. C The flexor digitorum superficialis originates on the medial epicondyle of the humerus and upper part of the radius and inserts on the middle phalanx of the 2nd through 4th digits. D The pronator teres originates on the medial epicondyle of the humerus and coronoid process of the ulna and inserts on the lateral radius.

An injury to the lower brachial plexus (Klumpke's palsy) would affect A. sensation in the nail bed of the 5th digit B. abduction of the 2nd through 5th digits C. adduction of the thumb D. adduction of the wrist E. All of the above

E The ulnar nerve arises from the lower part of the plexus. Its dorsal cutaneous branch in the hand supplies the palmar and dorsal surfaces of the 4th (half) and 5th digits, and its deep branch supplies the dorsal interossei muscles that abduct the fingers and the adductor pollicis that adducts the thumb. It also innervates the flexor carpi ulnaris that assists in adduction of the wrist (Section 13.4d). A The ulnar nerve's (C8-T1) dorsal cutaneous branch in the hand supplies the palmar and dorsal surfaces of the 4th (half) and 5th digits. B through D are also correct (E). B The ulnar nerve's (C8-T1) deep branch in the hand supplies the dorsal interossei muscles that abduct the fingers. A, C, and D are also correct (E). C The ulnar nerve's (C8-T1) deep branch in the hand supplies the adductor pollicis muscle that adducts the thumb. A, B, and D are also correct (E). D The ulnar nerve (C8-T1) innervates the flexor carpi ulnaris that assists the extensor carpi ulnaris (radial nerve) in adduction of the wrist. A through C are also correct (E).

lateral epicondylitis

Inflammation of the muscle attachment to the lateral epicondyle of the elbow. pain radiates along extensor forearm. Often caused by strongly gripping. Commonly called tennis elbow.

A patient complains of tingling and pain in the upper arm. Upon further examination and additional tests, you determine that the axillary artery has been occluded by atherosclerosis. The patient, however, still has a radial pulse at the wrist. Which of the following arteries could provide a collateral circulation around the occlusion? A. Suprascapular and circumflex scapular arteries B. Suprascapular and lateral thoracic arteries C. Posterior circumflex humeral and anterior circumflex humeral arteries D. Superior thoracic and lateral thoracic arteries E. Posterior intercostals and lateral thoracic arteries

The suprascapular and transverse cervical branches of the subclavian artery and the thoracodorsal and circumflex scapular branches of the distal segment of the axillary artery participate in a scapular arcade that provides a collateral circulation that would circumvent the occlusion B The lateral thoracic artery does not supply the scapula, nor does it anastomose with the suprascapular artery. C The anterior and posterior humeral circumflex arteries anastomose around the neck of the humerus but do not anastomose with arteries proximal to the occlusion. D Neither the superior thoracic artery nor the lateral thoracic artery supplies the scapular region. E Posterior intercostal arteries supply the medial scapular region, but they do not anastomose with the lateral thoracic artery.

involve supraspinatus tendon. subacromial and subdeltoid bursae tear in conjunction with ruptured tendon, they become continuous with cavity of glenohumeral joint

injury to long thoracic nerve

is caused by a stab wound or during radical mastectomy or thoracic surgery. It results in paralysis of the serratus anterior muscle and inability to elevate the arm above the horizontal. It produces a "WINGED" scapula in which the vertebral (medial) border of the scapula protrudes away from the thorax.

glenohumeral dislocation

joint is most mobile but least stable joint. inferior support by rotator cuff muscles is weak- called anterior dislocation= damage axillary nerve, flattened shoulder. posterior dislocations rare and associated w seizures/electrocutions.

subscapularis

medially rotates arm

posterior compartment

muscles extend glenohumeral, radial, deep brachial art and vein

median and ulnar nerves do not innervate

muscles of arm

anterior compartment

musculocutaneous n, brachial art and vein, muscles flex glenohumeral

muscles that extend from axial skeleton to humerus and adduct and rotate arm

pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi

form anterior axillary wall and anterior axillary fold

pectoralis minor and major

pronation

pronator teres, pronator quadratus

serratus anterior function

protracts scapula

proximal radioulnar joint is a synovial joint that allows rotation of the

radial head in cuff. elbow joint capsule.

triceps hiatus

radial n and deep brachial art

triceps brachii innervated by

radial nerve

bicipital aponeurosis

roof of cubital fossa

infraspinatus

rotates arm externally

pectoral girdle is formed by

scapula and clavicle

cubital fossa

shallow depression anterior to elbow

glenohumeral joint

shoulder joint

anterior muscles of pectoral girdle

subclavius, pectoralis minor, serratus anterior

supination

supinator, biceps brachii

posterior muscles of pectoral girdle (superficial muscles)

trapezius, levator scapulae, rhomboid major & minor
