This makes the breast less movable, but contracting pec major makes the breast move superiorly. Fruity in a bad way - If cancer infiltrates along the ligaments the skin begins to invaginate -- like dimples on an orange peel. Connections of the intercostals veins w/ vertebral venous plexus make it possible for tumors to invade from breast -> vertebra -> skull -> brain. Rotator Cuff Disease Posterior or superior displacement of the humerus – most common cause of shoulder pain – could be caused by tearing any of the tendons of the musculotendinous cuff that keep the humerus in the glenoid cavity – subscapularis, supra- and infraspinatus, teres minor. Supraspinatus helps keep the head of the humerus in glenoid fossa – prevents deltoid from pulling it toward the acromion. Lesion - suprascapular nerve Difficulty initiating abduction due to supraspinatus paralysis Lesion - axillary nerve (due to humeral fraction at surgical neck) Difficulty abducting greater than 120 degrees due to deltoid paralysis Lesion – long thoracic nerve (at axilla) “Winged scapula” – inferior angle is not held against thoracic wall by serratus anterior, difficulty abducting upper limb because scapula cannot rotate. Patient cannot hold scapula against wall when pushing a wall. Articular cartilage in synovial joints often degenerate with age/injury The costoclavicular ligament is the most important in preventing displacement of the sternoclavicular joint, but the acromioclavicular joint is more likely to displace. Carpal Tunnel Median nerve compressed. Affects thenar muscles, lateral 2 lumbricals and sensory impairment to lateral 3 1/2 digits. BUT no sensory impairment to palmar cutaneous branch. Lesion – ulnar nerve Sensory impairment of medial 2 digits (anterior and posterior). Decreased adduction and abduction of digits. Adductor pollicis paralysis. Medial two lumbricals are paralyzed. Wrist fracture Mostly occurs at distal part of radius, scaphoid likely to fracture Waiter’s tip C5/C6 or superior trunk lesion. Loss of flexion, abduction, and lateral rotation of upper limb. Makes a weird medial rotation of the arm. Most severely affected muscles: deltoid, biceps brachii, brachialis, brachioradialis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor Wrist drop Posterior cord lesion, pressure on radial nerve. Unable to extend forearm, hand, digits. Lower brachial plexus injuries (C8/T1) can be a result of cervical rib or pulmonary carcinoma Lesion – musculocutaneous nerve (at axilla) Weakness of upper limb flexion. Severe weakness of forearm flexion. Weakness when supinating arm. Lesion – radial nerve (fractured humerus) Loss of forearm extension. Wrist drop occurs. Lesion – radial nerve (neck of radius) Wrist drop not severe because extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis are spared. Loss of digital extension of proximal phalanges and thumb impaiments. Lesion – median nerve (at axilla) No forearm pronation. Diminished hand and digital flexion. Wasting of thenar eminence. Loss of sensation. Claw hand Lesion of ulnar nerve (at axilla or due to medial epicondular fracture). Imbalance of flexion/extension occurring at IP and MP joints (hyperextended at MP, flexed at IP). Also can’t make a fist. Kyphosis (Hunchback) Increased curvature of thoracic vertebrae. (erosion of anterior portion with age) Lordosis (Swayback) Increased lumbar curvature. Pelvic gurdle rotates anterior-inferiorly, gluteal region accentuated posteriorly (ghetto booty). Scoliosis Any lateral curvature of vertebral column. More common in women (manifests during puberty). Spondylolisthesis LV5 fuses with sacrum. LV5/SV1 unsupported my articular processes. LV5 moves ventrally over SV1, compressing cauda equine (particularly LV5 and SV1 rootlets). Gluteal and lower limb pain. Happens to 5-8% of the population after damage of neural arch fusion to body of LV5. Spina Bifida Nonfusion of neural arch at midline – opening of vertebral canal. Slipped Disk Not literally a slipped disk. Pulpus gelatinous center bulges out posteriorly, impinging on spinal nerves. Posterior longitudinal ligament confines herniation to one side – so pain can be traced to specific dermatomes. Most common in lower lumbar region. Nerve that is inferior to vertebral disk will be pinched. Epidural (during labor) Injected into sacral hiatus to reduce innervation of pelvic nerves. Spinal Tap Needles inserted into lumbar cistern (between LV1-2 and SV2). Easier to get CSF here than other parts of the spinal cord to prevent nerve lesions. Reduced blood flow of the vertebral arteries (eg. arteriosclerosis) may be excerbated by prolonged turning of the head – causes dizziness and other symptoms (interference of blood supply to brain stem) Cisternal puncture Spinal tap in the neck region – subarachnoid space tapped by inserting needle in the back of the neck and penetrating the posterior alanto-occipital membrane.
