Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

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:

Orthopedic Surgery
Hand Surgery
Arthroscopy

Background:

Arthroscopic wrist surgery has advanced the understanding of wrist joint anatomy and pathology.
Wrist arthroscopy provides critical insights into joint stability, complementing traditional imaging.
Current hand surgery practices integrate arthroscopic and arthroscopic-assisted procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the diagnostic value of arthroscopic wrist surgery.
To emphasize the role of arthroscopy in assessing wrist stability.
To identify common pathologies addressed by wrist arthroscopy.

Main Methods:

Utilizing arthroscopic inspection of the radiocarpal and mediocarpal joints.
Employing arthroscopic and arthroscopic-assisted surgical techniques.
Comparing diagnostic information from arthroscopy with standard radiological tools.

Main Results:

Arthroscopy offers significant diagnostic information beyond conventional radiology.
Evaluation of wrist stability is a key function of arthroscopic inspection.
Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) lesions and scapholunate dissociation are frequent indications for surgery.

Conclusions:

Arthroscopic wrist surgery is a valuable tool for diagnosing wrist conditions.
It provides essential data for evaluating wrist stability.
TFCC tears and scapholunate injuries are primary targets for this surgical approach.
