The wrist and hand

Light at the end of the Tunnel

100

These are the 4 structures that run through the carpal tunnel.

Flexor Digitorum Superficialis (4), Flexor Digitorum Profundus (4), Flexor Pollicis Longus (1) and the Median Nerve

200

These 2 ligaments makes up the flexor retinaculum.

Transverse Carpal Ligament (Deep) and the Volar Carpal Ligament (Superficial)

300

These 2 structures run superficial to the Volar Carpal Ligament

The Palmaris Longus Tendon and the Palmar Cutaneous Branches

400

These are the 4 structures that travel between the ligaments

Ulnar nerve and  Ulnar artery, Flexor Carpi Ulnaris and Flexor Carpi Radialis

500

The retinaculum prevents this from happening to the tendons

Bow-stringing

Flipped turned upside-down

100

The tendons of the wrist enter through this many dorsal compartments

6 compartments

200

Extensor Pollicis Brevis and Abductor Pollicis Longus run through this compartment

The 1st compartment

300

The 3rd compartment only has this structure traveling through it

The Extensor Pollicus Longus

400

Extensor Digiti (Communis) and Extensor Indices (Proprius) travel through this compartment

The 4th compartment

500

Dequervaine's Tenosynovities is....

Inflammation to the 1st compartment

THWIP

100

Muscle action does not directly affect movement of the carpal bones. True of False?

True

200

What makes up the radio-carpal joint?

The scaphoid and lunate articulate with the distal radius, functioning as a synovial condyloid joint.

300

This structure lies between the Ulna and the Triquetrum

The Triangular Fibrocartilagenous Complex

400

These 2 ligaments border the TFCC

The Palmar (limits supination) and Dorsal (limits pronation) Radio-Ulnar Ligaments

500

These 2 ligament provide support to the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints

The medial and lateral collateral ligaments

Hand-y stuff

100

This muscle is deep to both the Flexor Digiti Minimi Brevis and Abductor Digiti Minimi

What is Opponens Digiti Minimi

200

Opponens Pollicis is deep to these 2 Thenar Muscles

What are Flexor Pollicis Brevis and Abductor Pollicis Brevis

300

The Hypothenar muscles are on this side of the hand

Medial side (pinky side)

400

There are 3 Palmar Interorssei, where do they sit and what action do they cause

Between digits 2+3, 3+4, 4+5. They cause adduction of the fingers

500

What fingers are Dorsal Interossei acting on and how many on each finger? what action do they cause?

Index (1), Middle (2) and Ring (1). Abduction of the fingers

You've got issues

100

Chronic Median Nerve damage. Digits 1-3 are extended and cannot be flexed.

Sign of Benediction

200

Both of these are caused by injuries to the brachial plexus. Most commonly at birth. One is the upper plexus and the other is the lower plexus. Name them and the body part they affect.

Erb's palsy is damage to the upper rachial plexus and affects the shoulder/elbow.
Klumpke's palsy is damage to the lower brachial plexus and affects the hand.

300

Median nerve is injured. Weakness in the anterior forearm. Paresthesia in hand ( digits 1-3 and the palm)

Pronator Teres Syndrome

400

Long standing Ulnar nerve damage. Hyperextension of the MCPs. Flexion of the PIPs and DIPs.

Ulnar Claw Hand

500

Ulnar nerve is injured. Weakness in forearm. Paresthesia in digits 4+5.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
