Fractures: Bone Repair01:27

Fractures: Bone Repair

3.2K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

2.1K
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...

Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

1.5K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

2.2K
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...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula01:10

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

3.2K
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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

3.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Radiology
  • Sports medicine

Background:

  • Navicular and cuboid fractures present diagnostic and treatment challenges.
  • Conventional radiography may miss these midfoot injuries due to complex anatomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the diagnostic difficulties of navicular and cuboid fractures.
  • To emphasize the role of advanced imaging in evaluating these injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of imaging modalities for midfoot fractures.
  • Discussion of diagnostic challenges with conventional radiographs.
  • Indication for advanced imaging in suspected or displaced fractures.

Main Results:

  • Conventional radiographs may not adequately diagnose navicular and cuboid fractures.
  • Advanced imaging is crucial for high-suspicion or displaced fractures.
  • These fractures often occur with other midfoot injuries.

Conclusions:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis of navicular and cuboid fractures is essential.
  • Advanced imaging improves diagnostic accuracy.
  • Treatment strategies depend on fracture displacement and associated injuries.
