136. Cubital tunnel syndrome
|
results from compression on the ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel behind the medial epicondyle causing numbness and tingling in the ring and little fingers. The tunnel is formed by the medial epicondyle, ulnar collateral ligament and two heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscles.
|
|
137. Dupuytren's contracture
|
a progressive thickening, shortening, and fibrosis of the palmar fascia, especially the palmar aponeurosis, producing a flexion deformity of the fingers in which the fingers are pulled toward the palm, especially the third and fourth fingers
|
|
138. Volkmann's contracture
|
an ischemic muscular contracture of the fingers and sometimes of the wrist resulting from ischemic necrosis of the forearm flexor muscles caused by a pressure injury, such as compartment syndrome, or a tight cast. The muscles are replaced by fibrous tissue, which contracts, producing the deformity
|
|
139. Tenosynovitis
|
inflammation of the tendon and synovial sheath; can lead to trigger figer- when the flexor tendon develops a nodule or swelling that interferes with it's gliding thru the pulley, causing an audible clicking or snapping
|
|
140. Mallet finger
|
finger with permanent flexion of the distal phalanx due to an avulsion of the medial and lateral bands of the extensor tendon to the distal phalanx
|
|
141. Boutonnier deformity
|
finger w/abnormal flexion of the middle phalanx and hyperextension of the distal phalanx due to an avulsion of the central band of the extensor tendon to the middle phalanx or rheumatoid arthritis
|
|
142. Injury to the long thoracic nerve
|
caused by stab wound or during radical mastectomy or thoracic surgery; results in paralysis of the serratus anterior muscle and inability to elevate the arm above the horizontal; produces a winged scapula
|
|
143. Injury to the posterior cord
|
caused by the pressure of the crosspiece of a crutch, resulting in paralysis of arm called crutch palsy. It results in loss in function of the extensors of the arm, forearm, and hand and produces a ***wrist drop***
|
|
144. Injury to the axillary nerve
|
caused by a fracture of the surgical neck of the humerus or inferior dislocation of the humerus. Results in weakness of lateral rotation and abduction of the arm. The supraspinatus can abduct the arm but not to a horizontal level
|
|
145. Injury to the radial nerve
|
caused by a fracture of the midshaft of the humerus. It results in the loss of function in the extensors of the forearm, hand, metacarpals, and phalanges. It also results in loss of write extension, leading to wrist drop, and produces a weakness of abduction and adduction of the hand
|
|
146. Injury to the musculocutaneous nerve
|
results in weakness of supination (biceps), and forearm flexion (brachialis and biceps)
|
|
147. Injury to the median nerve
|
may be caused bya supracondylar fracture of the humerus or compression in the carpal tunnel. It results in loss of pronation, opposition of the thumb, and flexion of the lateral two interphalangeal joints and impairment of the medial two IP joints. It also produces a characteristic flattening of the thenar eminence, often referred to as "ape hand"
|
|
148. Injury to ulnar nerve
|
caused by a fracture of the medial epicondyle and results in a claw hand due to the paralysis of the palmar and dorsal interossei muscles and the medial two lumbricals. It also produces a wasted hypothenar eminence and palm and also leads to loss of adduction of the thumb due to paralysis of the adductor pollicis muscle
|
|
149. Erb-Duchenne paralysis
|
Upper trunk injury - caused by a birth injury during or a violent displacement of the head from the shoulder. Results in a loss of abduction, flexion, and lateral rotation of the arm, producing a ***waiter's tip*** hand, in which the arm tends to lie in medial rotation resulting from paralysis of lateral rotator muscles.
|
|
150. Klumpke's paralysis
|
Lower trunk injury - may be caused during a difficult breech delivery, or by abnormal insertion or spasm of the anterior and middle scalene muscles. The injury also causes a claw hand.
