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 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...

Arteries of the Upper Limbs01:12

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

525
The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...

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...

Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

1.7K
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand and Wrist Anatomy
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • The scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL) complex is crucial for carpal stability.
  • SLIL injuries, from acute trauma or repetitive stress, lead to carpal instability and radiocarpal degeneration.
  • Incongruous carpal motion results from SLIL insufficiency, necessitating a deep understanding of its anatomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL) anatomy.
  • To outline prevention strategies, diagnostic methods, and treatment options for SLIL injuries.
  • To discuss the outcomes associated with various management approaches for SLIL injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL) anatomy.
  • Synthesis of information on injury mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment modalities.
  • Analysis of outcomes reported for nonoperative and operative management of SLIL injuries.

Main Results:

  • SLIL injuries can stem from acute impact or repetitive motion, causing carpal instability.
  • A detailed understanding of SLIL anatomy is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
  • Various treatment options are available, tailored to the specific stage of SLIL injury.

Conclusions:

  • Scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL) injuries have significant implications for wrist function and joint health.
  • Management strategies for SLIL injuries should be individualized and involve patient-physician collaboration.
  • Optimal outcomes depend on timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment selection based on injury severity.
