Anatomy Thumb side, further row of carpal bones, between scaphoid and 1st metacarpal, has deep palmar groove for flexor carpi radialis. Attachments; origin opponens pollicis, and abductor, flexor pollicis brevis, transverse carpal ligament. The saddle-shaped surface articulating with 1st meta-carpal allows large range of thumb movement including opposition. Clinical Often removed in treatment of basal
Anatomy Above 2nd metacarpal in further row of carpal bones, wedge-shaped, narrow end palmar. Articulates up with scaphoid, down with 2nd metacarpal, in with capitate, out with trapezium. Least injured carpal bone. Clinical “Sam Likes To Play; Try To Catch Him”. S, L, T, P, proximal row; T, T, C, H; distal row, lateral (thumb)
Anatomy Origin: Lateral head: Posterior surface of the humerus superior to the radial groove. Long head: Infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula. Medial head: Posterior surface of the humerus inferior to the radial groove. Insertion: Olecranon process of the ulna and deep fascia of the forearm. Key Relations: -Long head lies between teres minor and teres

Long head: Infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula. Insertion: Olecranon process of the ulna and deep fascia of the forearm. Key Relations: -Medial heads lies posterior to the long and
Anatomy A continuous fascia that lines the abdominal cavity, deep to the transverse abdominis muscle, and continuous into the pelvic cavity. Superiorly: it blends with the fascia of the inferior of the diaphragm. Posteriorly: it blends with the thoracolumbar fascia. Laterally: with the spine of the ilium. Anteriorly: in the abdomen, both sides converge and
Anatomy Course This is the smallest branch from the lateral circumflex femoral artery. It travels laterally to pierce the vastus lateralis muscle. It then joins with the medial circumflex femoral artery contributing to the anastomosis around head of the femur. Supply The transverse branch of the lateral circumflex artery supplies the head and neck of
Anatomy Part of colon from abrupt outward curve of right colic (hepatic) flexure in right to abrupt inward curve of splenic (left colic) flexure in left hypochondrium, convex down, most mobile part of SI, largely covered by peritoneum, connected by transverse mesocolon (mesentery in SI, called mesocolon in LI – double layer of peritoneum caused
Anatomy Large long bulge front of upper shaft, where patellar ligament (ie central part of common tendon of quadriceps femoris; rectus femoris, vastus medialis, intermedius and lateralis). Clinical The tuberosity has an apophysis and fractures can occur in active adolescents. Osgood-Schlatter disease/syndrome is an associated, usually self-limiting painful condition affecting active children 9-16 (boys 5:1
Anatomy Course A terminal branch of the sciatic nerve, and so contains fibres from the spinal segments of L4 – S3. The sciatic nerve becomes the tibial nerve upon exiting the popliteal fossa. It passes under the tendinous arch formed by the soleus muscle and descends in the plane between the solus and the tibialis
