Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

5.0K
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

3.0K
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

3.2K
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...

Muscles that Move the Forearm01:16

Muscles that Move the Forearm

2.4K
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...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula01:10

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

5.7K
The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers01:17

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

1.5K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Limb Reconstruction

Background:

  • Global forearm instability often results from significant osseous defects.
  • Salvage techniques are crucial for restoring function in complex cases.
  • The one-bone forearm (OBF) procedure is one such reconstructive option.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current literature on the one-bone forearm (OBF) procedure.
  • To summarize outcomes and techniques for OBF in treating forearm instability.
  • To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of OBF as a salvage procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was performed in MEDLINE, Embase, and PubMed.
  • Included studies were published in English and reported on OBF for forearm instability.
  • Data from 34 studies involving 210 patients and 211 OBF procedures were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Trauma was the most common reason for OBF, followed by genetic/congenital disorders and infections.
  • End-to-end osteosynthesis with plate fixation was the predominant surgical technique.
  • Successful union was achieved in over 80% of OBF procedures, with most fused in neutral or pronated positions.

Conclusions:

  • The one-bone forearm (OBF) is a feasible and effective salvage technique for diverse forearm pathologies.
  • OBF demonstrates satisfactory outcomes in the majority of cases requiring correction of osseous defects and instability.
  • The procedure offers a valuable option for limb salvage in complex orthopedic scenarios.
