Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age

3.2K
The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

Overview of Flail Chest
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...

Managing flail chest, a condition characterized by a segment of the chest wall moving independently from the rest of the thoracic cage, requires a comprehensive approach. It includes a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, a diagnostic evaluation to determine the extent of the injury, and the implementation of appropriate medical interventions tailored to the individual's needs.

Fractures: Bone Repair01:27

Fractures: Bone Repair

5.8K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

9.3K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

11.2K
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
  • Traumatology
  • Surgical innovation

Context:

  • Distal clavicle fractures represent a significant challenge in orthopedic trauma.
  • Existing fixation methods may have limitations in achieving stable reduction and fixation.
  • The need for effective treatment strategies for unstable distal clavicle fractures is ongoing.

Purpose:

  • To describe and evaluate a novel surgical technique for treating unstable distal clavicle fractures.
  • To combine a low-profile locking plate with a button/suture augmentation cerclage for enhanced fixation.
  • To assess the feasibility and short-term outcomes of this combined approach.

Summary:

  • The described technique involves open reduction and fixation with a distal clavicle locking plate.
  • Arthroscopic assistance is utilized for drilling and passing a DogBone/FibreTape cerclage for vertical stabilization.
  • The cerclage is secured over the clavicular plate, creating a bridging effect for improved stability.

Impact:

  • This technique offers a potentially improved method for stabilizing unstable distal clavicle fractures.
  • Short-term outcomes indicate high subjective patient satisfaction and absence of persistent pain.
  • Further long-term studies are needed to fully establish the efficacy and durability of this surgical approach.
