Crossword-Solution: PRONATOR 8 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 10

The position of the upper limb is typical: the arm and forearm hang close to the side, with the forearm extended and pronated; the deltoid, spinati, biceps, brachialis, and supinators are paralysed, and in some cases the radial extensors of the wrist and the pronator teres are also affected.

The flexor carpi radialis can then be joined up with the extensor digitorum communis by passing its tendon through an aperture in the interosseous membrane, or better still, through the pronator quadratus, as there is less likelihood of the formation of adhesions when the tendon passes through muscle than through interosseous membrane.

The subclavius muscle, E, like the pronator quadratus muscle of the forearm, serves rather to further the displacement of the broken ends of the bone than to hold them in situ.

The ulnar artery, whose origin is seen near F, Plate 16, passes deeply beneath the superficial flexor muscles, L M K, and the pronator teres, I, and first emerges from under cover of these at the point O, from which point to S, Plate 16, the artery may be felt, in the living body, obscurely beating as the ulnar pulse.

The next question that arises is, Where are we to operate? In cases where we have a choice, is there here, as in the leg, any "point of election"? _No._ As a rule in the fore-arm, the surgeon should endeavour to save as much as possible; especially when nearing the middle of the fore-arm, he should try to save the insertion of the pronator teres, so important in its function of pronating the radius.
