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...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Upper Extremity Reconstruction

Background:

  • Chronically unreduced elbow dislocations present a complex clinical challenge.
  • Limited literature exists on effective treatment strategies for this condition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of treatment modalities for the chronically unreduced elbow.
  • To highlight key anatomical considerations for managing elbow instability.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on surgical interventions.
  • Discussion of open reduction, internal fixation, and ligament reconstruction.
  • Exploration of external fixation and elbow arthroplasty techniques.

Main Results:

  • Analysis of indications, operative techniques, and outcomes for each treatment option.
