The forearm

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • The interosseous membrane (IOM) connects the radius and ulna in the forearm.
  • Understanding its structure is crucial for forearm biomechanics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the detailed functional anatomy of the forearm's interosseous membrane.
  • To describe its components and their behavior during forearm rotation.

Main Methods:

  • Dissection of 15 fresh frozen cadaver forearms.
  • Observation of the interosseous membrane's structure and flexibility.

Main Results:

  • The IOM has three parts: tendinous, membranous, and a dorsal oblique accessory cord.
  • The tendinous part bends like an elastic board during forearm rotation.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The IOM's curvature and fiber tension change with forearm position.

    • Conclusions:

    • The interosseous membrane's unique structure facilitates forearm rotation.
    • Its components contribute to forearm stability and function.
