Spinal Nerves: Plexus I01:22

Spinal Nerves: Plexus I

3.6K
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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

11.0K
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...

Arteries of the Upper Limbs01:12

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

3.2K
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...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography01:20

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

3.1K
Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Hand Surgery
  • Physical Therapy

Background:

  • Ulnar nerve compression often presents subtly, leading to delayed diagnosis.
  • Untreated compression can cause progressive hand deformities and functional loss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide healthcare providers with tools for early ulnar nerve compression recognition.
  • To improve diagnostic accuracy and timely referrals for hand therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Educational guide format.
  • Includes case illustrations of progressive deformity.

Main Results:

  • Outlines key features of ulnar nerve compression.
  • Case study demonstrates functional impairment from delayed treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Early detection and intervention can correct or mitigate hand deformities.
  • Optimizing outcomes by preserving intrinsic hand function.
