Jersey finger
An injury to the distal flexor tendon is called...
Excessive number of pitches thrown. Muscle imbalance in shoulder and core. Incorrect technique. Handle is too small. The material doesn't work with the athlete.
Causes for Epicondylitis.
Synovial herniation
How a wrist ganglion occurs.
Volksmann's Contracture
If a simple elbow fracture is managed with first aid incorrectly, it can become irreversible and results in this.
Osteochondritis Dissecans
Inflammation of cartilage with subsequent fracturing of the tissue
Scaphoid
Most fractured bone of the wrist.
Radial; ulnar; median;
Nerves that cross into the wrist region of the hand.
Medial Humeral Epicondyle
The bone that gets affected in "Little League's Elbow"
1st metacarpal (proximal)
The bone(2) that is affected by Bennett's fracture
4th or 5th metacarpal
The bone(s) affected by Boxers' fracture
Annular ligament
The ligament that surrounds the neck of the radius and holds the radial head in its correct position at the elbow.
Extensor pollicis brevis
The muscle tendon associated with de Quervain's disease
Pain in the upper arm. Loss of function. Muscle spasm. Unwillingness to use arm. Deformity. Sensory loss if the radial nerve is affected.
The signs and symptoms of a humerus fracture.
Triceps brachii and anconeus
These are the elbow extensors.
The forearm blood supply is compromised
This is probably occurring if the forearm feels cold and clammy.
Distal flexor tendon
What does Jersey finger affect?
Extensor digitorum muscle
What does mallet finger effect?
An extensor slip rupture
What happens in Boutonniere deformity?
Pronation
What motion does the proximal radioulnar joint do?
Median nerve
What nerve is involved in carpal tunnel syndrome?
Ulnar collateral ligament
What structure is involved in Gamekeeper's thumb?
Mallet finger
What term denotes a finger injury that involves a traumatic avulsion of the tendon extensor digitorum muscle?
Boutonniere deformity
What term denotes a finger injury that involves an extensor tendon slip rupture?
Distal radius
Where the Colles' fracture occurs.
Ulnar
Which nerve travels through the tunnel of Guyon?
True
[T/F] "Locking" of the elbow joint is associated with osteochondritis dissecans.
True
[T/F] A typical dislocation of the elbow involves the forearm bones being driven posterior to their normal position.
True
[T/F] After a mallet finger injury, it is important to splint the distal phalanx and to not let the distal phalanx fall back into flexed position.
True
[T/F] Avulsion of tendons can create permanent damage and typically needs the attention of a physician.
True
[T/F] Blows to the upper arm, such as those in typical tackle football, may result in a condition known as tacklers' exostosis.
False
[T/F] Both Little League and Golfer's elbow involve the lateral humeral epicondyle.
True
[T/F] Golfer's elbow includes the lateral humeral epicondyle.
False; Lunate
[T/F] Hammate bone is the most commonly dislocated bone of the wrist.
False; 2nd and 3rd fingers
[T/F] If the median nerve is compromised, you are likely to have sensation changes in the 4th and 5th fingers.
False
[T/F] Injuries to the triceps muscle are extremely common in sports.
False; medial
[T/F] Little League's elbow includes the lateral humeral epicondyle.
False; medial
[T/F] Tennis elbow includes the lateral humeral epicondyle.
True
[T/F] The collateral ligaments of the elbow protect this joint from both valgus and varus actions.
False
[T/F] The collateral ligaments of the elbow protect this joint from both valgus and varus forces.
True
[T/F] The flexor tendons of the wrist are held in place by a retinaculum called the transverse carpal ligament.
True
[T/F] There are eight carpal bones.
