Describe the borders and content of the cubital fossa, medial and lateral axillary spaces
Describe the carpal tunnel syndrome and the Dupuytren’ s contracture
Describe the anatomical snuff box – borders, content
Describe the spinal chord levels associated with upper limb movements and reflexes
Describe the lymphatic circulation of the mammary
gland
• Mammary gland, pectoreal (anterior lymph
node), central, apical nodes
• To sublcavian trunk, to right subclavian
trunk, jugular vein (on right; thoracic duct
on left)
Describe the characteristic features of Erb-Duchenne
palsy and Klumpke’s paralysis
• Clinical correlates; pages 38-42 in lab book
• Erb is waiter’s tip
– No abduction, lateral rotation, arm flexors
• Klumpke’s is claw HAND
Describe the arterial supply of the hand and layers of
the palmar region
• Deep (radial a.) and superficial (ulnar a.) palmar arches
– Branches of the radial/ulnar arteries
• Radial is more the deep side
– supplies index, thumb as well
• SUper DR
– Superficial ulnar
– Deep Radial (interossei, lumbricals, deep muscles)
• Superficial branch splits into common digital arteries,
which go up to become the proper digital arteries
Describe the cutaneous innervation of the upper limb
• Cutaneous innervation map
Describe the rotator cuff muscles and the avulsion
fracture of the greater tubercle
• Subscapularis goes to the lesser tubercle
– Other 3 go to the greater tubercle
– Subscapularis would not be affected and would
medially rotate your arm; lateral rotators lost
• Not attached to lesser tubercle
– Originates from the subscapular fossa
• Medial rotators of arm
– 2 Majors and a Sexy Lady
• Pec/teres major, subscapularis, latissimus dorsi
Describe the scapular arterial anastomosis and its
clinical importance
• Transverse cervical (dorsal scapular artery)
– From subclavian
• Suprascapular artery
– From subclavian
• Circumflex scapular artery
– From the subscapular artery
• Importance= if one of the arteries is
blocked, there will still be a blood supply to
the muscles in the area
Describe the borders and content of the cubital fossa,
medial and lateral axillary spaces
• Tendon of biceps, brachial artery, median nerve
• Pronator teres on medial side, brachioradialis on
lateral side
• Triangular Space (t. minor over t. major)
– Circumflex scapular artery
• Quadrangular Space (long head of biceps
medially, humorous lat, t. minor superior, t. major
inferior)
– Axillary nerve, posterior circumflex artery
Describe the carpal tunnel syndrome and the
Dupuytren’ s contracture
• 3 benediction
– Dupuytren’s (palmar aponeurosis) Ulnar claw,
median (Ape hand)
• median nerve; dig. Superficialis, dig.
Profundus, flexor pollicis longus
– 10 things through the carpal tunnel
Describe the anatomical snuff box – borders, content
• Extensor pollicis longus (medial border),
extensor pollicis brevis (lateral), abductor
pollicis longus (lateral)
• Floor is scaphoid and trapezium
• Radial artery, nerve and cephalic vein are in
there
Describe the spinal chord levels associated with
upper limb movements and reflexes
• C5 (for biceps) tap the cubital fossa
• C6 (for brachioradialis) tap radial nerve
– Right before the distal portion of the radius
• C7 (for triceps) tap right above elbow joint
• C5-C6 is shoulder
• C5 is abduction (up), C6 is flexing, C7 is
extension of arm/forearm, C8 is wrist, T1 is
ab/adduction of fingers
