ABSTRACT Background: Fracture of the radial head constitute 1/3rd of all the elbow fractures. It occurs as a result of a fall on an outstretched hand or a direct blow to the lateral aspect of elbow joint. This is now becoming more common due to pre existing co-morbidities like osteoporosis and chronic osteoarthritis. Surgical correction of the comminuted fractures of radial head involves reconstruction or replacement with artificial radial head prosthesis in cases where reconstruction is not possible. Aims and Objectives: To analyze the morphometric details of proximal end of radius and to describe the morphological features of head and bicipital tuberosity of the radius. Materials & Methodology: Sixty dry human adult radius bones of unknown age and sex were assessed for morphometric and morphological characters. Vernier caliper was used to measure the various parameters on the proximal ends of radius bones. The data was tabulated and analyzed using SPSS software. Results: The mean length of radius was found to be 23.98 cm.

  • Bones of Upper Limb
    BONES OF THE UPPER LIMB Dr. Jamila El-Medany OBJECTIVES At the end of the lecture, students should be able to: List the different bones of the UL. List the characteristic features of each bone. Differentiate between the bones of the right and left sides. List the articulations between the different bones. The Bones of UL are: Pectoral Girdle. Arm : Humerus. Forearm : Radius & Ulna. Wrist : Carpal bones Hand: Metacarpals & Phalanges Pectoral Girdle Formed of Two Bones: Clavicle (anteriorly) and Scapula (posteriorly). It is very light and allows the upper limb to have exceptionally free movement. Clavicle It is a doubly curved long bone lying horizontally across the root of the neck It is subcutaneous throughout its length. Functions: 1. It serves as a rigid support from which the scapula and free upper limb are suspended & keep them away from the trunk so that the arm has maximum freedom of movement. 2. Transmits forces from the upper limb to the axial skeleton. 3. Provides attachment for muscles. 4. It forms a boundary of the Cervicoaxillary canal for protection of the neurovascular bundle of the UL. Clavicle It is a long bone with no medullary cavity. It has the appearance of an elongated letter Capital (S) lying on one side. It has Two Ends: Medial (Sternal) : enlarged & triangular. Lateral (Acromial) : flattened. Body (shaft): Its medial 2/3 is convex forward. Its lateral 1/3 is concave forward. Surfaces: Superior : smooth as it lies just deep to the skin. Inferior : rough because strong ligaments bind it to the 1st rib. Articulations of Clavicle Medially with the manubrium at the Sternoclavicular joint .

  • Anatomical Features of Some Bones of the Forelimbs of Lions (Panthera Leo)
    Int. J. Morphol., 39(2):378-385, 2021. Anatomical Features of Some Bones of the Forelimbs of Lions (Panthera leo) Características Anatómicas de Algunos Huesos de los Miembros Torácicos de Leones (Panthera leo) Md. Shahriar Hasan Sohel1; Kh. Nurul Islam2 & Mohammad Lutfur Rahman2 SOHEL, M. S. H.; ISLAM, K. N. & RAHMAN, M. L. Anatomical features of some bones of the forelimbs of lions (Panthera leo). Int. J. Morphol., 39(2):378-385, 2021. SUMMARY: We studied the bones of forelimb of four adult lions (Panthera leo) of both sexes to record the gross anatomical and morphometrical features of the scapula, humerus, radius and ulna. We observed some unique anatomical features that will be helpful for radiographic interpretation and forensic investigations. The lateral surface of scapula was unequally divided into supraspinous (fossa supraspinata) and infraspinous fossa (fossa infraspinata) by a well developed spine (spina scapulae). The acromion process was subdivided into suprahamate process (processus suprahamatus)and hamate process (processus hamatus); the later one was over hanged the glenoid cavity (cavitas glenoidalis), but the supraglenoid tubercle (tuberculum supraglenoidalis) was absent. The shaft (diaphysis) of humerus was compressed craniocaudally in proximal part, rounded to oval in middle part and compressed mediolaterally in distal part. A long, narrow supracondyloid foramen was found at distal limb just above the medial epicondyle (epicondylus medialis) which didn’t connect the radial fossa (fossa radialis) with the olecranon fossa (fossa olecrani). The radius and ulna were twin bones where radius was articulated craniolateral to the ulna proximally and craniomedial to the ulna distally. However, the ulna was the longest bone in the forelimb of lion.

  • Lab Manual Appendicular Skele
    1 PRE-LAB EXERCISES When studying the skeletal system, the bones are often sorted into two broad categories: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. This lab focuses on the appendicular skeleton, which is formed from the pectoral and pelvic girdles and the upper and lower limbs. View Module 7.2 Axial and Appendicular Skeleton to highlight the bones of the appendicular skeleton and compare them to those of the axial skeleton. Examine Module 11.1 Appendicular Skeleton to view only the bones of the appendicular skeleton. In addition to learning about all the bones of the appendicular skeleton, it is also important to identify some significant bone markings. Bone markings can have many shapes, including holes, round or sharp projections, and shallow or deep valleys, among others. These markings on the bones serve many purposes, including forming attachments to other bones or muscles and allowing passage of a blood vessel or nerve. It is helpful to understand the meanings of some of the more common bone marking terms. Before we get started, look up the definitions of these common bone marking terms: Canal: Condyle: Facet: Fissure: Foramen: (see Module 10.18 Foramina of Skull) Fossa: Margin: Process: Proximal: Trochanter: Tubercle: Tuberosity: Throughout this exercise, you will notice bold terms. This is meant to focus your attention on these important words. Make sure you pay attention to any bold words and know how to explain their definitions and/or where they are located. Use the following modules to guide your exploration of the appendicular skeleton. As you explore these bones in Visible Body’s app, also locate the bones and bone markings on any available charts, models, or specimens.

  • Radial Head Dislocation and Subluxation in Osteogenesis Imperfecta
    2694 COPYRIGHT Ó 2007 BY THE JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY,INCORPORATED Radial Head Dislocation and Subluxation in Osteogenesis Imperfecta By Alice Marcdargent Fassier, MD, Frank Rauch, MD, Mehdi Aarabi, MD, Chantal Janelle, MD, FRCS, and Francxois Fassier, MD, FRCS Investigation performed at Shriners Hospital, Montreal, Quebec, Canada Background: Upper limb deformity in children with osteogenesis imperfecta may substantially impair function. The aims of this retrospective work were to study the prevalence of radial head malalignment (dislocation or subluxation) in different types of osteogenesis imperfecta and to identify factors linked to it. Methods: We assessed 489 upper limbs from 254 patients (with a mean age of 9.6 years and including 130 female patients) who had various types of osteogenesis imperfecta. Radiographs representing a single time-point for each patient were assessed for the presence and direction of radial head malalignment and associated abnormalities (dysplasia of the capitellum or of the radial head or neck, calcification of the interosseous mem- brane, or radioulnar synostosis). Deformations of the humerus, radius, and ulna were assessed with regard to location, direction, and magnitude. The forearm range of motion in pronation and supination and the hand grip force were measured in a subset of patients. Results: We observed radial head dislocation or subluxation in forty-four and thirty-nine upper extremities, respec- tively. The frequency of radial head malalignment was significantly higher in type-V osteogenesis imperfecta (86%) than in the other types (0% to 29%) (p < 0.001). Dysplasia of the humeral capitellum, radial head, or radial neck was associated with malalignment in all types of osteogenesis imperfecta, with the exception of capitellum dys- plasia in type V.
