Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...

Elbow arthroscopy is a valuable surgical technique for various elbow conditions. Careful portal placement and operative setup are crucial to minimize neurovascular complications during elbow arthroscopy.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Elbow arthroscopy has advanced significantly, expanding its applications beyond simple loose body removal.
  • Fewer studies compare elbow arthroscopy to knee or shoulder arthroscopy.
  • Higher complication rates are reported for elbow arthroscopy compared to larger joints.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the operative setup and portal placement for elbow arthroscopy.
  • To highlight the evolving indications for elbow arthroscopy.
  • To emphasize the importance of meticulous technique in preventing complications.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of elbow arthroscopy techniques and outcomes.
  • Description of standard operative setup and portal placement strategies.
