Note: We will not be providing any handouts. All the cases we
will be going over are listed above. Radiographs and cross-sections
will be available in the lab after the board review if you would
like to come back and view them.
I had very few anatomy questions,
but did get one about wrist drop and one about superficial inguinal
lymph nodes
CT/MRI!!
The brachial plexus and contributory cervical nerves were heavily
emphasized. For example: What would be the clinical manifestations
of accidentally cutting C4. Or: A patient cannot supinate his
hand, but has intact feeling--which portion of the brachial
plexus was severed?
One big area was branches of the celiac artery and a focused
approach to the blood supply of the foregut. It seemed this
was pretty important.
innervations, upper and lower limb stuff
half of my anatomy questions were CT/MRI and the other half
were motor vehicle accident related (or at least that's what
I remember).
I had several detailed hand anatomy questions- questions about
specific tendons and where they run with respect to arteries,
as well as intrinsic hand muscles.
embryology
I had a lot of arm & leg questions, but I think everybody's
exam was different
innervation of the hand and wrist (brachial
plexus) and the diagnostic differentiation of peroneal (fibular)
or tibial nerve injury to the lower limb
