Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

8.9K
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...

Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

9.2K
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...

The Thoracic Cage: Sternum01:17

The Thoracic Cage: Sternum

9.1K
The thoracic or rib cage forms the body's thorax (chest) portion. Its primary function in the body is to protect vital organs in the thoracic cavity, such as the heart and the lungs. It consists of 12 pairs of ribs with their costal cartilages and the sternum. The ribs are anchored posteriorly to the 12 thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12).
The sternum is the elongated bony structure on the anterior side of the thoracic cage. It consists of three parts: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid...

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

34.3K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Muscles that Move the Forearm01:16

Muscles that Move the Forearm

6.0K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery
  • Body Contouring

Background:

  • Post-brachioplasty deformities, including sagging or oversized upper arms, present significant aesthetic challenges.
  • These deformities are often difficult to correct, emphasizing the need for preventative strategies and effective surgical techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • The L brachioplasty with liposuction demonstrated applicability across a range of deformities, yielding high-quality aesthetic results.
  • Liposuction was found to be integral to comprehensive arm reshaping.
  • L brachioplasty offers significant aesthetic advantages and a low complication rate compared to alternative brachioplasty procedures.

Conclusions:

  • L brachioplasty combined with liposuction is a valuable technique for addressing upper arm aesthetic deformities.
  • Preventing post-brachioplasty deformities through appropriate surgical planning and technique is paramount.
