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...

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...

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...

Pre-Procedural Guidelines for Assessing Blood Pressure01:10

Pre-Procedural Guidelines for Assessing Blood Pressure

760
Accurate blood pressure assessment is crucial for diagnosing and managing various health conditions. To ensure the reliability of these measurements, healthcare professionals must adhere to standardized pre-procedural guidelines. These guidelines enhance patient safety and improve the overall quality of healthcare. The following steps are essential for obtaining accurate and consistent blood pressure readings, from using the appropriate tools to ensuring effective communication with the...

Summary

Forearm lengthening using distraction osteogenesis can lead to moderate pain and functional limitations. While radiological outcomes are often positive with few complications, they may not align with patient-perceived functional and cosmetic results.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Regenerative medicine
  • Biomechanical engineering

Background:

  • Forearm shortening necessitates reconstructive procedures.
  • Distraction osteogenesis is a technique for limb lengthening.
  • Long-term functional and radiological outcomes require evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess long-term functional and radiological outcomes of forearm lengthening via distraction osteogenesis.
  • To correlate objective radiological findings with subjective patient-reported results.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 21 forearm lengthening procedures in 11 patients.
  • Subjective functional evaluation using a modified QuickDASH-9 questionnaire.
  • Radiological assessment of bone lengthening and complications.

Main Results:

  • Average bone lengthening was 3.54cm with a mean lengthening index of 40.53 days/cm.
  • Most patients reported moderate pain, with functional and cosmetic outcomes varying significantly.
  • Radiological outcomes were generally positive, but did not consistently match patient satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • Forearm lengthening by distraction osteogenesis can yield positive radiological results with a low complication rate.
  • Patient-reported functional and cosmetic outcomes after forearm lengthening are variable.
  • A discrepancy exists between objective radiological results and subjective patient experiences post-forearm lengthening.
