Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

10.7K
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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

10.4K
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: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

13.3K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Periprosthetic fractures, dislocations, and implant failures require prompt identification of the prosthesis type and brand.
  • Accurate identification is crucial for effective emergency and outpatient management.
  • A comprehensive overview of commonly used European elbow prostheses is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a reference guide for identifying commonly used elbow prostheses in Europe.
  • To assist clinicians in diagnosing complications associated with prosthetic implants.
  • To detail the radiographic characteristics of specific elbow prosthesis models.

Main Methods:

  • Compilation of a list of frequently used elbow prostheses in Europe.
  • Inclusion of prostheses such as Coonrad/Morrey, Nexel, GSB III, iBP, Discovery, NESimplavit, Latitude, Solar, and Souter-Strathclyde.
  • Description of the radiographic features for each listed prosthesis, using company-provided or patient radiographs.

Main Results:

  • The study presents detailed radiographic descriptions for nine distinct total elbow prostheses.
  • Key identifying characteristics for each implant system are outlined.
  • The information is intended to facilitate rapid identification in clinical settings.

Conclusions:

  • This overview serves as a valuable resource for emergency and outpatient clinicians facing patients with prosthetic elbow complications.
  • Familiarity with the described radiographic features can improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.
  • The guide aids in the timely management of periprosthetic fractures, dislocations, and implant failures.
