Magnetic Resonance Imaging01:24

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

8.7K
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

4.1K
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: Humerus

6.4K
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...

Summary

Acute elbow dislocations frequently involve soft tissue injuries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveals common injuries to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) and flexor tendons in these cases.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Elbow dislocations are common orthopedic injuries.
  • These dislocations often involve associated soft tissue damage.
  • Understanding these injuries is crucial for effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To retrospectively analyze ligamentous, tendinous, and muscular injury patterns.
  • To describe findings from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in acute elbow dislocations.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 235 elbow dislocation cases (2008-2020).
  • MRI evaluation of 12 eligible patients by a radiologist and orthopedic surgeon.
  • Assessment for specific injuries: UCL, RCL, LUCL, common flexor/extensor tendons, biceps, brachialis, triceps, fractures, and effusions.

Main Results:

  • Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) and common flexor tendon injuries were most frequent (11/12 patients).
  • Radial collateral ligament (RCL) and lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) injuries occurred in 9/12 patients.
  • Other findings included extensor tendon injuries (9/12), minor muscle tendon injuries, fractures (4/12), and effusions (8/12).

Conclusions:

  • Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) and common flexor tendon injuries are the most prevalent in acute elbow dislocations.
  • Large-scale MRI studies are challenging due to cost, limiting comprehensive data.
  • MRI is valuable for identifying the spectrum of soft tissue injuries associated with elbow dislocations.
