Congenital
Condition where fifth finger is bent in the sagittal or extension/flexion plane. Most often affects the PIP joint
Camptodactyly
Stage of healing where fibroblasts migrate from uninjured tissue at the wound edges and start producing collagen, creating granulation tissue
Proliferation
This anastomosis occurs high in the forearm, communicating the median nerve to the ulnar nerve
Martin-Gruber
This sign is elicited by passively elevating the arm in a pane slightly anterior to the scapular plane. As the arm is brought into the final degrees of elevation, contact occurs between coracoacromial arch and supraspinatus tendon/bursa/biceps
Neer's Impingement Sign
Pallor, redness, prolonged capillary refill, and temperature asymmetry are all _______ changes involved in CRPS
Vasomotor
A rare, congenital, non-hereditary overgrowth and/or malformation presenting as abnormal increased size of fingers.
Macrodactyly
Substance that is derived from seaweed and is applied to heavily draining wounds to assist with wound healing
Calcium Alginate. This substance can absorb large amounts of fluid. It has calcium, ions that interact with sodium ions and create a hydrophilic environment, drawing exudate and bacteria out of the wound and into the dressing.
Procedure used to restore elbow flexion. Transposition of the flexor-pronator origin proximally on the humerus, giving the flexor-pronator mass a greater moment arm
Steindler flexorplasty
Apprehension Manuever
Hyperalgesia
Congenital deformity that is a deficiency of one or more digits in the hand; often described as split hand or cleft hand
Ectrodactyly
Classification of burn that penetrates through the epidermis and partially through the dermis.
Partial-Thickness Burns
-Superficial partial thickness extends through the epidermis and into the papillary dermis
-Deep partial thickness extends through the dermis and into the reticular dermis
Transfer using a pulley at the level of the pisiform to recreate opposition with the ring finger FDS tendon
Bunnell tendon transfer
Test assessing for symptomatic (unstable) inferior translation of the humerus with the arm at the side. This test is performed with the patient seated or supine. The humerus is placed in neutral rotation and an inferiorly directed force is applied to the shaft of the humerus.
Sulcus Test
Term for excessive reaction to stimuli that outlasts the initiating stimulus and spreads beyond normal dermatomal boarders
Hyperpathia
Name of syndrome that is present at birth, involving port wine stains, excess growth of bones and soft tissue, and varicose veins
Klippel Trenaunay syndrome
Name of debridement that revers to the use of sterile greenbottle flies to debride the wound bed
Biologic debridement. MAGGOTS.. assist with wound healing by debriding necrotic tissue and ingesting wound bacteria
Name of transfer that moves
1. PT to ECRB
2. FDS of ring finger to EDC
3. FCR to APL/EPB
Boyes transfer
This is positive when medial winging of the scapula increases when the patient is asked to lift the arm to 90 degrees in the sagittal plane and reach forward without rotating the body. (Maintaining humeral external rotation)
Plus Sign, indicating LTN palsy
CRPS type that involves spontaneous pain and hyperalgesia accompanied with a specific peripheral nerve injury
CRPS-2
Congenital upper extremity condition where one forearm bone is missing and digits may or may not have formed
Longitudinal hemimelia
Skin substitute that can be used to prepare wound bed before application (Three potential options)
Inegra, Apligraf, Cultured Epidermal Autograft
This transfer technique uses the FDS through a transverse incision at the level of the distal palmar crease. The FDS tendons are used in sections and divided into two slips for each finger, which are then volarly retained through the deep transverse metacarpal ligament and looped through A1 pulley and sutured to itself
Zancolli lasso technique
Kim test
Name of test that is a measurement of stimulated sweat output; greater and prolonged with a hyperfunctioning sympathetic nervous system
QSART: Quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test
