Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

13.1K
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...

Arteries of the Upper Limbs01:12

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

2.7K
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...

Flail Chest-II01:26

Flail Chest-II

763
Managing flail chest, a condition characterized by a segment of the chest wall moving independently from the rest of the thoracic cage, requires a comprehensive approach. It includes a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, a diagnostic evaluation to determine the extent of the injury, and the implementation of appropriate medical interventions tailored to the individual's needs.

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

10.6K
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

10.3K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Pediatric Trauma
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Pediatric firearm-related injuries represent a growing public health crisis.
  • Existing research on regional pediatric gunshot wound (GSW) trends is limited.
  • Upper-limb GSWs in children pose significant challenges to healthcare systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate trends in pediatric upper-limb GSWs over an 8-year period.
  • To identify demographic and injury characteristics of pediatric upper-limb GSW patients.
  • To inform improved supportive care and interventions for pediatric ballistic injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of pediatric patients (<18 years) with upper extremity GSWs (2016-2023).
  • Data collection included demographics, injury specifics, fracture patterns, surgical interventions, and complications.
  • Analysis of trends and disparities in pediatric upper-limb GSWs.

Main Results:

  • 58 of 296 (19.6%) pediatric firearm injuries involved the upper limb.
  • Most affected patients were male (79.3%), Hispanic/Latino (65.5%), with a mean age of 15.2 years.
  • Fractures occurred in 68.9% of cases; 62.1% required operative management, including fracture fixation.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatric GSWs, including upper-limb injuries, are a significant concern requiring attention.
  • Orthopedic surgeons play a crucial role in managing these injuries and advocating for prevention.
  • Understanding injury patterns can guide treatment protocols and public health initiatives.
