Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

11.2K
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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

8.9K
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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

9.0K
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...

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

2.2K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Common Respiratory Disorders01:31

Common Respiratory Disorders

1.8K
Respiratory disorders, a prevalent health concern globally, are generally divided into two primary categories: upper and lower respiratory tract disorders. The categorization is based on the area of the respiratory system they affect.
Upper respiratory disorders impact the airways above the vocal cords, encompassing areas like the nose, sinuses, and throat. Various conditions fall under this category, including the common cold and allergic rhinitis. These disorders can stem from several causes,...

Arteries of the Upper Limbs01:12

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

3.3K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Medicine
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders
  • Primary Care

Background:

  • Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are common among workers due to occupational exposures such as overexertion, repetitive motion, and vibration.
  • Family physicians are crucial in identifying, managing, and treating these work-related conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the role of family physicians in diagnosing and managing common MSDs resulting from occupational exposures.
  • To outline treatment and management strategies for specific work-related MSDs.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical diagnosis based on patient history and physical examination.
  • Review of common MSDs including carpal tunnel syndrome, lateral epicondylitis, rotator cuff tendinopathy, and trigger finger.
  • Description of conservative and surgical treatment options.

Main Results:

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome, lateral epicondylitis, rotator cuff tendinopathy, and trigger finger are prevalent work-related MSDs.
  • Treatment often involves conservative measures like splinting, physical therapy, NSAIDs, and corticosteroid injections.
  • Surgical intervention is reserved for severe cases or treatment failures.

Conclusions:

  • Family physicians can effectively manage work-related MSDs through accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plans.
  • Understanding occupational risk factors and providing appropriate work restrictions are key to facilitating a safe return to work and expediting recovery.
