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 shows evidence of effectiveness for rheumatoid arthritis and lateral epicondylitis. However, the evidence quality for many other elbow conditions is fair to poor, necessitating further research.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Minimally invasive procedures

Background:

  • Elbow arthroscopy is increasingly utilized for various elbow pathologies.
  • Evidence-based recommendations are needed to guide its clinical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on elbow arthroscopy outcomes.
  • To provide evidence-based recommendations for its use in treating elbow conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of therapeutic studies on elbow arthroscopy.
  • Literature search conducted via PubMed (October 2010).
  • Analysis of outcomes, complications, and grading of recommendations.

Main Results:

  • Fair evidence supports elbow arthroscopy for rheumatoid arthritis and lateral epicondylitis (Grade B).

  • Poor evidence exists for arthroscopic treatment of degenerative arthritis, osteochondritis dissecans, and other conditions (Grade C(f)).
  • Insufficient evidence for posterolateral rotatory instability and septic arthritis (Grade I).

    • Conclusions:

    • Current evidence supports elbow arthroscopy for most indicated conditions.
    • The overall quality of evidence ranges from fair to poor.
