In the elbow region, which of the following bone features is NOT palpable?
Lateral epicondyle
Olecranon tuber
Medial coronoid process
Olecranon fossa.
 
The biceps tendon…
inserts on the medial coronoid process.
lies over the medial collateral ligament.
inserts on the medial epicondyle.
lies deep to the supinator muscle.
 
The elbow luxation is usually lateral because…
the medial coronoid process is larger than the lateral one.
the lateral collateral ligament is much thinner than the medial one.
the extensor muscles of carpus/digits do not cover the lateral side of the elbow joint
the anconeus muscle prevents medial luxation.
 
Elbow dysplasia may include all of the following disorders, EXCEPT…
joint incongruency.
OCD (osteochondrosis)
ununited anconeal process
fragmented lateral coronoid process
 
The … ligament prevents … movement (fill in the gaps)
annular / hyperextension
medial collateral / adduction
anconeal / rotational
oblique / hyperflexion
 
The ulnar nerve runs…
caudal to the medial epicondyle
caudal to the lateral epicondyle.
deep to the pronator teres muscle.
between the extensor muscles of the carpus/digits.
 
In a caudal surgical approach to the elbow, which muscle hinders access to this joint?
The triceps.
The biceps.
The pronator teres.
The brachialis.  
 
Which part of the humeral condyle is more commonly fractured due to excessive vertical forces on the elbow joint?
the capitulum.
the trochlea.
the lateral part/condyle
the medial part/condyle.
 
The ossification centers for the humeral condyle consist of:
one for each epicondyle and one for each condyle (medial and lateral)
the trochlea, the capitulum and one for each condyle (medial and lateral)
one for each condyle (medial and lateral)
one for the humeral condyle and one for each epicondyle
 
The radial nerve is easily identified running…
along with the brachial vessels
between the flexor muscles of carpus/digits
between the brachialis and triceps muscles
caudal to the medial epicondyle
