Avascular necrosis of the proximal carpal row. A case report
Annales De Chirurgie De La Main : Organe Officiel Des Societes De Chirurgie De La Main
|January 1, 1987
Abstract:
Avascular necrosis of bone has been described in many sites, including the carpal bones. The case history of a patient with avascular necrosis of the entire proximal row, previously undescribed, is detailed. Numerous contributing factors, including steroid administration, hyperlipidemia, and systemic lupus erythematosus are noted. Occult wrist pain in any patient with known risk factors for avascular necrosis is a warning sign; early bone scan may help prevent late complications.

01:15Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna
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 of the...
01:09Bones 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.
