Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

2.3K
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...

Spinal Nerves: Plexus I01:22

Spinal Nerves: Plexus I

1.0K
Nerve plexuses are networks of interlacing nerves that serve as communication hubs to distribute and organize nerve action across various body regions. The nerve plexuses are organized into the cervical plexus located in the neck region, brachial plexus in the shoulder area, lumbar plexus found in the lower back, sacral plexus situated in the pelvis, and coccygeal plexus located in the coccygeal region.
The Cervical Plexus
The cervical plexus, formed by the anterior rami of the first four...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

2.2K
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...

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:

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

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

1.1K
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...

Radial System Protection01:23

Radial System Protection

121
Radial systems employ time-delay overcurrent relays to reduce load interruptions. When a fault occurs, the nearest breaker opens first, while upstream breakers remain closed due to longer delay settings. This approach ensures minimal disruption to the rest of the system.
In a radial system with a fault downstream of the third breaker, ideally, only the third breaker will open, isolating the fault and interrupting the load connected beyond it. The second breaker has a longer delay setting,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Radial polydactyly, a common congenital hand anomaly, requires early surgical intervention. This condition arises from embryonic misregulation of sonic hedgehog protein, necessitating treatment before fine motor skill development.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Developmental Biology
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Radial polydactyly is a frequent congenital hand anomaly, affecting 0.08-1.40 per 1,000 live births.
  • Embryogenesis of polydactyly occurs between weeks 5-8, linked to sonic hedgehog protein misregulation in limb bud development.
  • Existing classification systems, like Flatt's, have limitations in categorizing preaxial polydactyly.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the incidence and embryonic origins of radial polydactyly.
  • To discuss the limitations of current classification systems for preaxial polydactyly.
  • To emphasize the importance of early surgical intervention for optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of embryological development of the hand.
  • Analysis of congenital anomaly incidence data.
  • Discussion of surgical timing and classification systems.

Main Results:

  • Radial polydactyly is a common birth defect with specific developmental timing.
  • Current classification methods for preaxial polydactyly present challenges.
  • Early surgical correction (1-2 years) is crucial for hand function.

Conclusions:

  • Early surgical treatment of radial polydactyly is essential for improved function and appearance.
  • Understanding the embryological basis aids in managing this condition.
  • Further refinement of classification systems may be beneficial.
