Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

3.8K
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...

Fractures: Bone Repair

4.1K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Muscles of the Shoulder

7.8K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Rotator cuff injuries are common, and their healing can be significantly affected by various factors.
  • Effective management requires a comprehensive understanding of both patient-related and treatment-related influences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To broadly review and synthesize current knowledge on factors that interfere with rotator cuff healing.
  • To provide evidence-based insights for clinical practice based on recent scientific concepts.

Main Methods:

  • Extensive literature review of 60 scientific articles.
  • Inclusion of both Western and Eastern medical literature.

Main Results:

  • Identified key lifestyle factors (smoking, alcoholism) affecting healing.
  • Highlighted systemic factors (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity) influencing recovery.
  • Detailed local factors related to pre-, peri-, and postoperative periods impacting outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Multiple factors, from patient habits to surgical timing, critically influence rotator cuff healing.
  • Integrating new concepts into clinical practice is essential for optimizing patient recovery and outcomes.
