Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

1.4K
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...

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

761
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...

Muscles that Move the Forearm

1.2K
The muscles that move the forearms can be divided into four groups: forearm flexors, forearm extensors, forearm pronators, and forearm supinators. The flexors and extensors act on the elbow joint, while the pronators and supinators act on the radioulnar joints.
Forearm Flexors
The biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis are forearm flexors. The biceps brachii is made up of two heads. Its long head originates at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, whereas that of the short head is...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

2.7K
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
  • Sports Medicine
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Triceps tendon ruptures commonly occur due to forceful elbow eccentric contractions.
  • Surgical repair aims to reattach the torn distal triceps tendon to the olecranon.
  • Indications for surgery include complete ruptures or failed conservative management of partial tears.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of distal triceps tendon avulsion repair.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a double row repair technique for triceps tendon ruptures.

Main Methods:

  • A posterior surgical approach was utilized for the repair.
  • A double row fashion repair was performed using all-suture anchors.
  • The technique involved 2 double-loaded anchors in the medial row and 1 anchor in the lateral row.

Main Results:

  • The repair achieved full anatomic footprint coverage of the distal triceps tendon intraoperatively.
  • Gentle range of motion (0-90 degrees flexion) did not cause gap formation post-repair.
  • The case involved a complete distal triceps avulsion with 1.5 cm retraction in a highly active individual.

Conclusions:

  • A double row repair configuration can successfully restore distal triceps tendon anatomy.
  • This technique facilitates successful outcomes for patients with triceps tendon ruptures.
