Objectives
• To gain a comprehensive understanding of the osteology of the upper limb
• To understand and be able to discuss the anatomy/anatomical relationships of the upper limb (i.e., veins, arteries, compartments, muscles)
• To understand the brachial plexus• Apply the above to a case study of the
brachial plexus and medical imaging.

A swan neck deformity describes a finger with a hyperextended PIP joint and a flexed DIP joint.
Swan Neck Deformity
![Page 36: IUSM-NW F12 1 The Upper Limb Ernest F. Talarico, Jr., Ph.D. Associate Director of Medical Education Associate Professor of Anatomy & Cell Biology Associate](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649d2f5503460f94a079a6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
IUSM-NW F12 36
How does this condition occur? Conditions that loosen the PIP joint and allow it to hyperextend can produce a swan neck deformity of the finger.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common disease affecting the PIP joint.
The small (intrinsic) muscles of the hand and fingers can tighten up from hand trauma.Various nerve disorders, such as cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, or stroke.

IUSM-NW F12 39
How do these injuries of the DIP joint occur?
A mallet finger results when the extensor tendon is cut or torn from the attachment on the bone. Sometimes, a small fragment of bone may be pulled, or avulsed, from the distal phalanx. The result is the same in both cases: the end of the finger droops down and cannot be straightened.

Boutonniere Injury
Boutonnière deformity (buttonhole deformity) is a deformity in which the middle finger joint is bent in a fixed position inward (toward the palm) and the outermost finger joint is bent excessively outward (away from the palm).
This disorder most often results from rheumatoid arthritis but can also occur from injury (such as deep cuts, joint dislocation, or fractures) or osteoarthritis

• A 34-year-old, African-American male, falls from the roof of a new home under construction and lands on a cement boulder with impact on the right, proximal one-third of the humeral diaphysis. Medical history is significant for HTN, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia. Examination in the ER is remarkable for BP 168/90; T 99.9; P 90; R 28. Bone is evident topographically near the deltoid tuberosity, and there is bleeding. Inflammatory response is active and there is decreased ROM; flexor and extensor reflexes are intact. CT reveals shattered humeral diaphysis with displacement. Surgical intervention is consistent with internal fixation and bone grafting using osseous tissue from the ilium ground and mixed with sea coral. The anterior and posterior circumflex humeral arteries were noted to be intact, and were clamped during surgery to facilitate repair. Three weeks post-surgery, the patient complains of significant pain near the site of injury. MRI reveals AVN of the proximal humeral diaphysis. Which of the following selections best explains the patient’s condition?
A. nonunion of bone fragmentsB. malpractice on the part of the surgeonC. diabetes D. muscle injuryE. neuropathy

• A 34-year-old, African-American male, falls from the roof of a new home under construction and lands on a cement boulder with impact on the right, proximal one-third of the humeral diaphysis. Medical history is significant for HTN, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia. Examination in the ER is remarkable for BP 168/90; T 99.9; P 90; R 28. Bone is evident topographically near the deltoid tuberosity, and there is bleeding. Inflammatory response is active and there is decreased ROM; flexor and extensor reflexes are intact. CT reveals shattered humeral diaphysis with displacement. Surgical intervention is consistent with internal fixation and bone grafting using osseous tissue from the ilium ground and mixed with sea coral. The anterior and posterior circumflex humeral arteries were noted to be intact, and were clamped during surgery to facilitate repair. Three weeks post-surgery, the patient complains of significant pain near the site of injury. MRI reveals AVN of the proximal humeral diaphysis. Which of the following selections explains the patients condition?
A. nonunion of bone fragmentsB. malpractice on the part of the surgeonC. diabetes D. muscle injuryE. neuropathy
Based on you knowledge of anatomy of the upper limb, what is the most likely cause of the AVN and the patient’s pain?Question
