Data Trace Editor – Discussion: – most frequent radiocarpal instability; – the lunate is translocated ulnarly, and therefore is not supported by the radius; – ulnar translationn is also commonly seen in disease such as RA or in Madelung’s deformity; – in RA, may occur along … Read more
– Anatomy: – Tunnel V: – overlies distal ends of radioulnar articulation on dorsum of wrist, contains EDM; – Tunnel VI: – in groove between the apex of ulnar styloid process & ulnar head, contains ECU tendon which is palpable from … Read more
– Discussion: – osseous related pain: – hamate fracture – pisiform fracture – ulnar styloid frx – base of the fifth metacarpal – TFCC – radioulnar joint – … Read more
– See: – Ulnar Nerve: – Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: – Discussion: – ulnar nerve neuritis is a reported of operative treatment for elbow frxs; – one of complications of ORIF of elbow frxs is adherence of the ulnar nerve directly to medial epicondylar region w/ … Read more
– Discussion: – ulnar nerve blocks are used for frxs of little finger ray & in along w/ median and radial sensory blocks for ring finger ray fractures; – Anatomy: – ulnar nerve has two sensory branches that provide sensory innervation to ulnar side of the hand; – palmar … Read more
– See – Cubitbal Tunnel Syndrome – Differential Dx: Ulnar Nerve Dysfunction: – Martin Gruber Anastomosis – Ulnar Nerve Blocks: – Ulnar Nerve in Condylar Fractures: – Anatomy: – brachial plexus: – C8 and T1 nerve roots give rise to the medial cord which in turn, forms the ulnar nerve; – ulnar nerve passes distally, … Read more
– Discussion: – indications are essentially the same as for radial shortening; – advocates of ulnar lengthening for Kienbock’s dz base their theorem on the fact that an ulnar lengthening procedure decreases the load across the radiolunate joint; – this procedure is ideally suited for pts … Read more
