Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

14.3K
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...

Elastin is Responsible for Tissue Elasticity01:12

Elastin is Responsible for Tissue Elasticity

3.5K
Elastic fiber contains the protein elastin along with lesser amounts of other proteins and glycoproteins. The main property of elastin is that it will return to its original shape after being stretched or compressed. Elastic fibers are prominent in elastic tissues found in skin and the elastic ligaments of the vertebral column.
Ligaments and tendons are made of dense regular connective tissue, but in ligaments not all fibers are parallel. Dense regular elastic tissue contains elastin fibers and...

Muscles that Move the Forearm01:16

Muscles that Move the Forearm

4.9K
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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

11.0K
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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

11.3K
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...

Spinal Nerves: Plexus I01:22

Spinal Nerves: Plexus I

3.6K
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...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Lateral and medial epicondylitis, common in sports and professions with repetitive wrist motion, is diagnosed clinically. Treatment involves rest, exercises, and potentially injections, with surgery reserved for severe cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Sports Medicine
    • Rehabilitation

    Context:

    • Lateral and medial epicondylitis often arise from repetitive wrist movements in professional or athletic settings.
    • Diagnosis is primarily clinical, with imaging like X-ray, ultrasound, or MRI used for chronic cases or differential diagnoses.
    • Imaging modalities such as ultrasound and MRI offer high diagnostic efficiency but come with significant costs.

    Purpose:

    • To review the clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies for lateral and medial epicondylitis.
    • To discuss the current therapeutic landscape, including conservative measures, injections, and surgical options.

    Summary:

    • Clinical diagnosis is standard, but advanced imaging (ultrasound, MRI) may be necessary for complex or chronic presentations.
    • Treatment consensus is lacking; initial management typically includes rest, followed by stretching and strengthening exercises.
    • Corticosteroid injections offer temporary relief, while Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections are gaining traction; surgery is an option for a small subset of patients.

    Impact:

    • Provides a comprehensive overview of epicondylitis management for clinicians.
    • Highlights the evolving role of diagnostic imaging and novel injection therapies.
    • Informs patient and physician decision-making regarding treatment pathways for elbow pain.
