Re: Joints of the Upper Limb

: : True/False - September 27, 2011 : : 1. The subacromial bursa intervenes inferior to the acromion and superior to the supraspinatus tendon as this tendons blends into the joint capsule. True- it is non-communicating. : : 2. Structures at risk during shoulder separation include the acromioclavicular, trapezoid, and conoid ligaments. True- shoulder separation occurs at the acromioclavicular joint. : 3. The far lateral margin of the subacromial bursa is called the subdeltoid bursa. True? Based on Hollingshead depiction. : : 4. A tear in the supraspinatus tendon may open a communication between the subacromial bursa and synovial joint cavity of the glenohumeral joint. True- then inject dye into here- if it goes to the joint, you have torn the tendon. : : 5. An articular disc divides the sternoclavicular joint into two synovial cavities. True- completely separate. : : 6. In general, an articular disc increases range of mobility (but not always).True- as in the case of the sternoclavicular joint. : : 7. The sternoclavicular joint provides the only bony link between the scapula and the skeleton. False. Between the scapula and AXIAL skeleton? True. : : 8. The costoclavicular ligament assists stability of the acromioclavicular ligament. False- sternoclavicular joint. : : 9. The subscapularis muscle inserts on the medial lip of the crest of the greater tubercle. False- inserts into lesser tubercle. : : 10. The supraspinatus tendon of insertion creates a specialization of the internal joint capsule. External joint capsule-False. Tendon of biceps does the internal joint capsule. : : 11. The infraspinatus muscle inserts intermediately between the supraspinatus, superiorly, and the teres major, inferiorly. False- teres minor inserts inferiorly on the greater tubercle. : : 12. The teres minor muscle inserts on the medial lip of the intertubercular sulcus immediately superior to the teres major. False- it inserts into the greater tubercle on the inferior aspect. : : 13. The subscapularis bursa communicates with the synovial joint capsule of the glenohumeral joint. True. : : 14. The glenoid labrum, at the infraglenoid tubercle, blends with the tendon of the long head of the biceps. False- at supraglenoid tubercle, it blends with head of biceps brachii, long head? : : 15. The long head of the biceps is intracapsular and extrasynovial at the glenohumeral joint. Intrasynvoial- lined in synovial sheath under cover of the transverse humeral ligament. : : 16. The long head of the biceps aids in approximating the head of the humerus to the glenoid fossa. True? : : 17. The glenohumeral joint capsule attaches to the margins of the surgical neck of the humerus. False- anatomic neck- extends inferior medially onto the shaft. : : 18. The intertubercular tendinous sheath is continuous with the synovium of the glenohumeral joint- true. : : 19. The glenohumeral joint capsule is relatively lax at the inferior margin and this dislocation vulnerable to forced abduction. True. : : 20. The anterior glenohumeral joint capsule is strengthened by the glenohumeral ligaments. True. : : 21. The trochlear of the humerus articulates with the head of the radius.False : : 22. The olecranon fossa of the humerus receives the olecranon of the ulna on maximum flexion. False- coranoid fossa recieves coranoid process : : 23. The ulnar notch of the proximal radioulnar joint receives the radial head. False- radial notch of the ulna receives the radial head. : : 24. The annular ligament stabilizes the head of the radius without ever attaching to the radius. False. Wraps around the whole head of radius. : : 25. The radial tuberosity faces anterior when in anatomical position (supination of the forearm). True- biceps inserts on anterior surface. : : 26. The medial (ulnar) collateral ligament of the elbow has three named bands. True- anterior, posterior, inferior : : 27. The radial collateral attaches to the ulna and to the annular ligament. False- lateral epicondyle of humerus : : 28. The distal radiolulnar joint allows the radius to pivot medially on the ulnar during pronation. True- and anteriorly. : : 29. The MP and IP joints are all hinge joints. True- synovial hinge with collateral ligaments. : : 30. The central slip of the extensor hood extends distal to the lateral bands to insert on the base of the distal phalanx. False- central slip extends to middle phalanx. : : 31. A lateral view of the extensor hood can be verified by the presence of two tendons blending with the region of the lateral cord. True- the lumbricals arise from the lateral aspect, and each digit has an interosseous muscle on the lateral aspect. : : 32. In the case that two tendons are blending on the same side of the extensor hood that the view is lateral, then the distal tendon is a lumbrical. True. : : 33. All MP and IP joints have collateral ligaments. True- two in fact. : : 34. The deep transverse metacarpal ligament is at the level of the metacarpophalangeal joint. True? although anterior to the axis of rotation? : : 35. The vinculae are mesotendons that transport synovial fluid to the distal tendon. False- they transport neurovascular supply to the tendons of the flexor tendon sheaths.
