– Discussion: – preganglionic lesions represent root avulsions from the spinal cord; – 2 catagories: – central avulsions: nervs are avulsed directly from the spinal cord; – intradural ruptures: rootlets are ruptured proximal to the dorsal root ganglion; – preganglionic injuries … Read more
– Discussion: – arises from disruption of the lateral collateral and annular ligaments; – associated conditions: elbow dislocation, radial head excision, coronoid fracture; – diff dx: lateral epicondylitis – LCL anatomy: – lateral collateral ligament consists of a ligamentous expansion proceding down from lateral … Read more
– See: Lateral Approach – Discussion: – allows exposure of the entire distal humerus as well as radial head, radial neck, and biceps tuberosity; – indications for this approach include frxs of distal humerus, old posterior elbow dislocations, radial head frx, radial head excisions, arthroplasties, fixation of distal biceps tendon rupture, and … Read more
Discussion: – the hyperextension phase of throwing may be the most important component of internal impingement; – in the late cocking position (abduction, external rotation, extension) may cause the postero-superior edge of the glenoid labrum to become caught between the humeral head and rotator cuff (surface of the infraspinatus and posterior fibers of supraspinatus tendon); – … Read more
– Anatomy: – this nerve is deep motor branch of radial nerve & supplies all of extrinsic wrist extensors except for the ECRL; – radial nerve enters the anterior compartment of the arm lying deeply between brachialis medially & BR & ECRL laterally; – PIN passes thru supinator muscle in its course from anterior to … Read more
– Discussion: – branch of the Axillary Artery – largery than AHCA. – passes around the posterior astpect of the surgical neck of the humerus with the Axillary nerve (thru quadrangular space ); – runs w/ the nerve around the humerus under the Deltoid muscle Anatomy of … Read more
– Anatomy: – three posterior divsions of brachial plexus form posterior cord: (C5 , C6 , C7, C8, T1) – upper subscapular nerve to subscapularis – thoracodorsal to latissimus dorsi – lower subscapular nerve to subscapularis and teres major … Read more
– See: – Anterior Approach Shoulder – Post Approach to Humerus – Discussion: – indicated from frx of the scapula, esp when the pathology is posterior; – Technique: – positon the patient in the prone or lateral position; – skin incision is made … Read more
