Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones01:29

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

10.8K
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...

Spinal Nerves: Plexus I

815
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...

Area of Science:

  • Performing arts medicine
  • Neurology
  • Sports medicine

Background:

  • Dancers and musicians face unique physical demands that increase risk of peripheral nerve injuries.
  • Repetitive motions and specific postures in artistic disciplines create an environment conducive to neuropathic syndromes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of understanding specific artistic demands in diagnosing nerve injuries.
  • To outline essential components of evaluation and treatment for performing artists with suspected peripheral nerve injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Assessment involves analyzing dance styles or instrument playing postures, identifying symptom-reproducing movements, and considering practice/performance schedules.
  • Diagnostic tools may include electrodiagnostic testing, imaging, and diagnostic injections.
  • Treatment is comprehensive, involving modifications in practice, posture, and technique, alongside medications, orthoses, physical therapy, and injections.

Main Results:

  • Familiarity with artistic variables and common neuropathic presentations is key for accurate diagnosis.
  • Involving instructors in treatment plans can be beneficial.
  • Complete rest may not always be necessary or feasible for recovery.

Conclusions:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis of peripheral nerve injuries is vital for a safe return to dance or instrumental music.
  • A comprehensive, individualized treatment approach is essential for performing artists.
