Muscles that Move the Forearm01:16

Muscles that Move the Forearm

3.5K
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...

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

2.2K
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

4.3K
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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

6.6K
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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

4.0K
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...

Arteries of the Upper Limbs01:12

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

1.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Glomus tumors are benign neoplasms originating from glomus bodies.
  • They typically manifest as painful, solid subcutaneous nodules, often on the extremities, especially the subungual areas.
  • Glomangiomyomas represent the least frequent histological subtype of glomus tumors.

Observation:

  • This report presents a rare case of glomangiomyoma located in the forearm.
  • The patient presented with a painful nodule, consistent with clinical glomus tumor presentation.
  • This location is infrequently documented in existing literature.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of glomangiomyoma.
  • The patient underwent surgical excision of the tumor.
  • A 5-year follow-up revealed no evidence of tumor recurrence.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the limited literature on forearm glomangiomyomas.
  • It highlights the importance of considering glomus tumors in the differential diagnosis of painful subcutaneous nodules.
  • Successful surgical management and long-term follow-up underscore the generally favorable prognosis for glomus tumors.
