Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

13.2K
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...

Flail Chest-II01:26

Flail Chest-II

812
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.

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

2.2K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

5.2K
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

10.3K
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

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...

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Orthopedics
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Gymnastics places significant weight-bearing loads on the wrists and arms.
  • These demands can lead to a range of wrist injuries in athletes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define and describe the spectrum of injuries known as "gymnast's wrist."
  • To outline the common disorders associated with this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of wrist injuries in gymnasts.
  • Clinical case series analysis (if applicable, otherwise omit).

Main Results:

  • Identified "gymnast's wrist" as a collective term for wrist pathologies.
  • Detailed common injuries including stress fractures, physeal injuries, and overuse syndromes.

Conclusions:

  • Gymnast's wrist encompasses conditions like capsulitis, ligament tears, TFCC tears, chondromalacia, stress fractures, and physeal arrest.
  • Understanding these injuries is crucial for prevention and treatment in gymnasts.
