Study Notes
Muscles of the Upper Limb
- Musculocutaneous nerve supplies muscles including biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis.
- Median and ulnar nerves are crucial for motor and sensory functions in the forearm.
- Key muscles in the cubital fossa include biceps tendon, pronator teres, and flexor muscles for wrist and fingers.
Arteries of the Upper Limb
- Brachial artery branches into radial and ulnar arteries at the elbow.
- Radial artery supplies the lateral aspect of the forearm while ulnar artery supplies the medial aspect.
- Anterior interosseous artery supplies deep muscles of the forearm.
Nerves in the Forearm
- Median nerve innervates most flexors in the forearm.
- Radial nerve innervates extensors and is located in the posterior compartment.
Forearm Anatomy
- Comprised of three osseofascial compartments: anterior, lateral, and posterior.
- Interosseous membrane connects radius and ulna, facilitating muscle attachment.
- The anterior compartment includes flexors and is supplied by the median nerve, while the posterior compartment includes extensors supplied by the radial nerve.
Cubital Fossa Features
- The cubital fossa is a triangular depression on the anterior elbow, acting as a conduit for major nerves and vessels.
- Boundaries: Brachioradialis muscle (lateral) and pronator teres muscle (medial).
- Contents from medial to lateral: median nerve, bifurcated brachial artery, biceps tendon, radial nerve.
Wrist and Tendon Structures
- The wrist consists of eight carpal bones, with complex tendon, artery, and nerve arrangements crucial for function.
- Flexor and extensor retinacula stabilize tendon positions at the wrist, forming tunnels for tendon passage.
Hand Bones and Phalanges
- Five metacarpal bones act as the skeletal structure of the hand; each has a base, body, and head.
- Phalanges are classified into proximal, middle, and distal segments; total of 14 phalanges in each hand.
Common Injuries
- Scaphoid bone fractures are prevalent in young adults and can lead to avascular necrosis if untreated.
- Lunate bone dislocation often accompanies falls, with potential median nerve involvement.
- Metacarpal fractures, particularly "boxer's fractures," occur from direct impact or violent contraction, usually affecting the fifth metacarpal.
Clinical Considerations
- Colles' fracture is common in older patients, resulting from falls; presents with a "dinner-fork deformity."
- Olecranon process fractures may occur from falls on a flexed elbow or direct trauma, often requiring surgical intervention for functional recovery.
Breast Development
- Embryonic development involves the milk ridge, forming breast structures.
- Supernumerary nipples may occur along this ridge, and retracted or inverted nipples can affect breastfeeding.
Muscles of the Back
- Key superficial and deep back muscles include trapezius, latissimus dorsi, and rhomboids, which are essential for shoulder movement and stabilization.
