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...

Bone Disorders

4.0K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling01:31

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

3.2K
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during...

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age

2.5K
The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Orthopedics
  • Geriatric Medicine

Background:

  • Sarcopenia is an emerging condition affecting older adults with fragility fractures.
  • Research on sarcopenia in distal radius fractures is limited, necessitating a review of current evidence.
  • Understanding this evidence is crucial for developing a research agenda for sentinel distal radius fractures and sarcopenia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of existing literature on sarcopenia in distal radius fractures among older adults.
  • To identify research gaps and areas for future investigation in this field.

Main Methods:

  • A 5-stage framework by Arksey and O'Malley was employed.
  • Literature search focused on "Sarcopenia" and "Distal radius fractures" from 2010-2020.
  • Two reviewers independently screened and reviewed articles, extracting data on research areas, findings, and limitations.

Main Results:

  • Thirteen studies were included, focusing on epidemiology, risk factors, basic science, outcomes, and diagnostics.
  • No studies addressed screening, prognostic scoring, intervention, or health economics.
  • Key limitations included undefined sarcopenia criteria and study designs (retrospective/cross-sectional).

Conclusions:

  • The review identified significant gaps in research areas and study rigor concerning sarcopenia in distal radius fractures.
  • There is a clear need for more prospective cohort and interventional studies.
  • A proposed research agenda, from screening to intervention, is needed to guide future studies in this area.
