Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

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...

Ankle Joint

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Musculoskeletal System Imaging

Context:

Arthroscopic treatment of wrist disorders dates back to the 1980s.
Wrist arthroscopy remains underutilized globally despite its benefits.
The intricate anatomy of the wrist presents surgical challenges.

Purpose:

To highlight the advantages of arthroscopic wrist surgery.
To discuss the evolution and current status of wrist arthroscopy.
To underscore the impact of recent advancements on the procedure's indications.

Summary:

Arthroscopic wrist surgery provides enhanced visualization and access to intracarpal structures, including carpal bones, ligaments, and the triangular fibrocartilage complex.
This minimally invasive approach offers reduced morbidity compared to traditional arthrotomy.
Improvements in surgical techniques, imaging, and instrumentation have overcome previous challenges.

Impact:

Facilitates accurate diagnosis and treatment of complex wrist pathologies.
Potentially improves patient outcomes through less invasive procedures.
Encourages wider adoption of wrist arthroscopy in clinical practice.
