Spinal Nerves: Plexus I01:22

Spinal Nerves: Plexus I

3.7K
Nerve plexuses are networks of interlacing nerves that serve as communication hubs to distribute and organize nerve action across various body regions. The nerve plexuses are organized into the cervical plexus located in the neck region, brachial plexus in the shoulder area, lumbar plexus found in the lower back, sacral plexus situated in the pelvis, and coccygeal plexus located in the coccygeal region.
The Cervical Plexus
The cervical plexus, formed by the anterior rami of the first four...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

11.8K
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...

Assessment of Radial Pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:

Radial System Protection01:23

Radial System Protection

488
Radial systems employ time-delay overcurrent relays to reduce load interruptions. When a fault occurs, the nearest breaker opens first, while upstream breakers remain closed due to longer delay settings. This approach ensures minimal disruption to the rest of the system.
In a radial system with a fault downstream of the third breaker, ideally, only the third breaker will open, isolating the fault and interrupting the load connected beyond it. The second breaker has a longer delay setting,...

Arteries of the Upper Limbs01:12

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

3.3K
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...

Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction01:29

Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction

7
Intervertebral disc herniation refers to the displacement of the nucleus pulposus (the gel-like inner core of the disc) through a tear or weakened area in the annulus fibrosus (the outer fibrous ring). The displaced disc material extends beyond the normal boundaries of the disc space and may compress or irritate nearby spinal nerve roots or, less commonly, the spinal cord.Etiology and Risk FactorsHerniation commonly results from degeneration, in which aging reduces disc hydration and...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Neurosurgery
  • Hand Surgery

Background:

  • Radial nerve injuries pose a significant challenge for hand surgeons.
  • The nerve's anatomical course near the humerus makes it vulnerable to injury, particularly with humeral fractures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of radial nerve injuries.
  • To emphasize the etiology, workup, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of these injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on radial nerve injuries.
  • Analysis of etiology, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies.
  • Evaluation of patient outcomes following intervention.

Main Results:

  • Radial nerve injuries are frequently associated with humerus fractures.
  • Diagnostic workup involves clinical examination and electrodiagnostic studies.
  • Management strategies range from non-operative to surgical interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the etiology and anatomy is crucial for managing radial nerve injuries.
  • Timely diagnosis and appropriate management are key to optimizing functional recovery.
  • Further research can refine treatment protocols and improve surgical outcomes.
