Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones01:29

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

11.7K
Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...

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

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

1.3K
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...

Assessment of Radial Pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:

Procedural Guide for Assessing Axillary Body Temperature using a Digital Thermometer:
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and put on clean gloves to maintain infection control and prevent cross-contamination.
Step 2: Prepare the patient by explaining the procedure to ensure understanding and cooperation. Ensure privacy, expose the axilla, and inform the patient that minimal movement is crucial for an accurate reading.
Step 3: Adjust the patient’s clothing to expose only the axilla. It minimizes...

Here is a stepwise guide to assessing the body temperature at the temporal artery using a temporal artery thermometer
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don a fresh pair of gloves to prevent cross-infection and ensure patient safety.
Step 2: Explain the procedure to the patient to establish trust. Clear communication establishes trust with the patient, ensures they understand what to expect, promotes cooperation, and enhances comfort during the procedure.  
Step 3: Assess the patient's...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Hand Therapy
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Thumb function and pinch strength are essential for daily activities, work, and leisure.
  • Impaired thumb function significantly impacts a patient's quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance awareness among healthcare providers regarding the importance of timely hand therapy referrals for specific thumb conditions.
  • To outline the management of three prevalent thumb pathologies: acute ulnar collateral ligament trauma, De Quervain's tendinopathy, and basal thumb osteoarthritis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common thumb conditions requiring hand therapy intervention.
  • Discussion of the role of accredited hand therapists in diagnosis and treatment.
  • Emphasis on clinical testing, custom orthosis fabrication, and therapeutic exercise prescription.

Main Results:

  • Hand therapy provides specialized interventions for acute, repetitive, and chronic thumb conditions.
  • Accredited hand therapists possess expertise in upper limb rehabilitation.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the scope of hand therapy is vital for general practitioners.
  • Prompt referrals to hand therapists lead to optimal functional recovery and patient outcomes for thumb conditions.
