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...
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...

    Summary

    Elbow arthritis, though uncommon, is treatable with surgery or non-surgical methods. Treatment choice depends on disease severity and pain levels, with various surgical options offering good results.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Elbow arthritis is an uncommon condition affecting joint function.
    • Pain and dysfunction are key indicators of disease severity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline management strategies for elbow arthritis.
    • To discuss factors influencing treatment selection.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of non-operative management techniques.
    • Analysis of operative interventions including arthroscopy, open surgery, and arthroplasty.

    Main Results:

    • Non-operative methods can successfully manage elbow arthritis.
    • Surgical interventions provide successful outcomes for most patients.
    • Treatment success is linked to the extent of pathological involvement and symptom severity.
