  • Chapter 5 Upper Limb Anatomy Bones and Joints
    Chapter 5 Upper limb anatomy Bones and joints Scapula Costal Surface The costal (anterior) surface of the scapula faces the ribcage. It contains a large concave depression over most of its surface, known as the subscapular fossa. The subscapularis (rotator cuff muscle) originates from this fossa. Originating from the superolateral surface of the costal scapula is the coracoid process. It is a hook-like projection, which lies just underneath the clavicle. Three muscles attach to the coracoid process: the pectoralis minor, coracobrachialis, the short head of biceps brachii. Acromion Coracoid process Glenoid fossa Subscapular fossa © teachmeanatomy Lateral surface • Glenoid fossa - a shallow cavity, located superiorly on the lateral border. It articulates with the head of the humerus to form the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint. • Supraglenoid tubercle - a roughening immediately superior to the glenoid fossa. The place of attachment of the long head of the biceps brachii. • Infraglenoid tubercle - a roughening immediately inferior to the glenoid fossa. The place of attachment of the long head of the triceps brachii. Supraglenoid tubercle Glenoid fossa Infraglenoid tubercle gn teachmeanatomy Posterior surface • Spine - the most prominent feature of the posterior scapula. It runs transversely across the scapula, dividing the surface into two. • Acromion - projection of the spine that arches over the glenohumeral joint and articulates with the clavicle at the acromioclavicular joint. • Infraspinous fossa - the area below the spine of the scapula, it displays a convex shape. The infraspinatus muscle originates from this area. • Supraspinous fossa - the area above the spine of the scapula, it is much smaller than the infraspinous fossa, and is more convex in shape.The supraspinatus muscle originates from this area.

  • The Critical Shoulder Angle As a Diagnostic Measure for Osteoarthritis and Rotator Cuff Pathology
    Open Access Original Article DOI: 10.7759/cureus.11447 The Critical Shoulder Angle as a Diagnostic Measure for Osteoarthritis and Rotator Cuff Pathology Zak Rose-Reneau 1 , Amanda K. Moorefield 1 , Derek Schirmer 1 , Eugene Ismailov 1 , Rob Downing 2 , Barth W. Wright 1 1. Anatomy, Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, Kansas City, USA 2. Graduate Medical Education, University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), Kansas City, USA Corresponding author: Amanda K. Moorefield, [email protected] Abstract The purpose of this study was to correlate critical shoulder angle (CSA), a measurement that takes into account both glenoid tilt and the acromial index (AI), with shoulder pathologies as presented in an earlier study by Moor et al. (2013). Based on Moor et al.’s predicted normal CSA range of 30-35°, we hypothesized that a greater-than-normal CSA would be correlated to or associated with rotator cuff pathology, while a smaller-than-normal CSA would be associated with osteoarthritis (OA). Following Moore et al., we utilized Grashey radiographic imaging because it provides the clearest view of the entire glenoid fossa and acromion. We analyzed 323 anterior-posterior (AP) radiographs to identify and measure the CSA, classifying each patient into one of five groups [none reported (n=94), mild OA (n=156), moderate OA (n=36), severe OA (n=37), and rotator cuff pathology (n=40)]. Our results were statistically significant, supporting the association of smaller CSAs with OA and larger CSAs with rotator cuff pathology. CSA measurements could provide a new means for identifying shoulder pathology and thereby reduce the need for costly and timely imaging techniques.

  • The Branching and Innervation Pattern of the Radial Nerve in the Forearm: Clarifying the Literature and Understanding Variations and Their Clinical Implications

Methods: Thirty-five cadavers were dissected to expose the radial nerve in the forearm. Each muscular branch of the nerve was identified and their length and distance along the nerve were recorded. These values were used to determine the typical branching and motor entry orders. Results: The typical branching order was brachialis, brachioradialis, extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, supinator, extensor digitorum, extensor carpi ulnaris, abductor pollicis longus, extensor digiti minimi, extensor pollicis brevis, extensor pollicis longus and extensor indicis. Notably, the radial nerve often innervated brachialis (60%), and its superficial branch often innervated extensor carpi radialis brevis (25.7%). Conclusions: The radial nerve exhibits significant variability in the posterior forearm. However, there is enough consistency to identify an archetypal pattern and order of innervation. These findings may also need to be considered when planning surgical approaches to the distal arm, elbow and proximal forearm to prevent an undue loss of motor function.

  • Anatomical, Clinical, and Electrodiagnostic Features of Radial Neuropathies
    Anatomical, Clinical, and Electrodiagnostic Features of Radial Neuropathies a, b Leo H. Wang, MD, PhD *, Michael D. Weiss, MD KEYWORDS Radial Posterior interosseous Neuropathy Electrodiagnostic study KEY POINTS The radial nerve subserves the extensor compartment of the arm. Radial nerve lesions are common because of the length and winding course of the nerve. The radial nerve is in direct contact with bone at the midpoint and distal third of the humerus, and therefore most vulnerable to compression or contusion from fractures. Electrodiagnostic studies are useful to localize and characterize the injury as axonal or demyelinating. Radial neuropathies at the midhumeral shaft tend to have good prognosis. INTRODUCTION The radial nerve is the principal nerve in the upper extremity that subserves the extensor compartments of the arm. It has a long and winding course rendering it vulnerable to injury. Radial neuropathies are commonly a consequence of acute trau- matic injury and only rarely caused by entrapment in the absence of such an injury. This article reviews the anatomy of the radial nerve, common sites of injury and their presentation, and the electrodiagnostic approach to localizing the lesion. ANATOMY OF THE RADIAL NERVE Course of the Radial Nerve The radial nerve subserves the extensors of the arms and fingers and the sensory nerves of the extensor surface of the arm.1–3 Because it serves the sensory and motor Disclosures: Dr Wang has no relevant disclosures.

  • Unusual Cubital Fossa Anatomy – Case Report
    Anatomy Journal of Africa 2 (1): 80-83 (2013) Case Report UNUSUAL CUBITAL FOSSA ANATOMY – CASE REPORT Surekha D Shetty, Satheesha Nayak B, Naveen Kumar, Anitha Guru. Correspondence: Dr. Satheesha Nayak B, Department of Anatomy, Melaka Manipal Medical College (Manipal Campus), Manipal University, Madhav Nagar, Manipal, Karnataka State, India. 576104 Email: [email protected] SUMMARY The median nerve is known to show variations in its origin, course, relations and distribution. But in almost all cases it passes through the cubital fossa. We saw a cubital fossa without a median nerve. The median nerve had a normal course in the upper part of front of the arm but in the distal third of the arm it passed in front of the medial epicondyle of humerus, surrounded by fleshy fibres of pronator teres muscle. Its course and distribution in the forearm was normal. In the same limb, the fleshy fibres of the brachialis muscle directly continued into the forearm as brachioradialis, there being no fibrous septum separating the two muscles from each other. The close relationship of the nerve to the epicondyle might make it vulnerable in the fractures of the epicondyle. The muscle fibres surrounding the nerve might pull up on the nerve and result in altered sensory-motor functions of the hand. Since the brachialis and brachioradialis are two muscles supplied by two different nerves, this continuity of the muscles might result in compression/entrapment of the radial nerve in it. Key words: Median nerve, cubital fossa, brachialis, brachioradialis, entrapment INTRODUCTION The median nerve is the main content of and broad tendon which is inserted into the cubital fossa along with brachial artery and ulnar tuberosity and to a rough surface on the biceps brachii tendon.
