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...
Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side of the...
Functional Classification of Joints01:09

Functional Classification of Joints

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses  or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
Synarthrosis
An immobile...
Muscles that Move the Forearm01:16

Muscles that Move the Forearm

The muscles that move the forearms can be divided into four groups: forearm flexors, forearm extensors, forearm pronators, and forearm supinators. The flexors and extensors act on the elbow joint, while the pronators and supinators act on the radioulnar joints.
Forearm Flexors
The biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis are forearm flexors. The biceps brachii is made up of two heads. Its long head originates at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, whereas that of the short head is...
Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a short...
Anatomical Movements00:51

Anatomical Movements

Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist, metacarpophalangeal,...

Summary

Elbow dislocations are common in children and adults. Early active motion after stable reduction helps maximize range of motion and minimize stiffness.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Elbow dislocation is the second most frequent major joint dislocation in adults and the most common in pediatric populations.
  • Understanding injury mechanisms and ligamentous disruption is crucial for effective management.
  • Established classification systems guide treatment and rehabilitation strategies for elbow dislocations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the epidemiology, classification, and management of elbow dislocations.
  • To highlight the importance of early range of motion (ROM) protocols in optimizing outcomes.
  • To emphasize the need for diagnosing and treating associated injuries to prevent long-term morbidity.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of elbow dislocation epidemiology, injury patterns, and treatment outcomes.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of classification systems for elbow dislocations.
  • Evaluation of rehabilitation protocols, particularly early active motion strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • Elbow dislocations represent a significant injury in both adult and pediatric patients.
    • Classification systems provide a framework for consistent treatment approaches.
    • Aggressive early active ROM protocols are effective in improving final range of motion and reducing extension loss after stable reductions.
    • Associated injuries frequently accompany elbow dislocations and require careful diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Elbow dislocations necessitate prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment.
    • Early active motion is a key component of rehabilitation for stable elbow reductions.
    • Comprehensive evaluation for associated injuries is critical to minimize patient morbidity.
