How to Care for Your Humeral Fracture HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR HUMERAL FRACTURE Patient Information Leaflets The humerus is the long bone of your upper arm. When broken, not only is it very painful but it also needs specialised care to help you cope with the problems it brings. Your forearm and hand may be swollen and bruised for a number of weeks; this is normal. To help reduce the swelling and stiffness you should keep your wrist and hand well exercised. Clenching your fist as tight as possible then stretching your fingers out as far as you can; also rotating, flexing and extending your wrist will get the muscles in your hand and forearm working and will help to reduce these symptoms. Your balance may also be affected. Take extra care especially when negotiating steps/stairs. Take regular pain killers as prescribed and the most important thing to remember, is to let your arm hang and be supported in its sling. This is the best way to support this fracture. Allow gravity to help keep your fracture straight. DO NOT 1. Rest your arm/elbow on anything if possible. This will push your bone ends together and or bend your bone at the fracture site. 2. Lay flat. Though it may be uncomfortable, try sleeping, as much as possible, in a seated/upright position. Lying flat may allow the bone to move and bend, even in a cast. 3. Put your injured arm through any sleeves. Dress with the injured arm under your clothing. This will be less painful and will also help to support the arm. KEEP YOUR CAST OR BRACE DRY. NO BATHING OR SHOWERING. It is not advisable to bath or shower as: 1. You may struggle to get into and out of a bath safely 2. Your balance will be affected and you may fall in the shower To wash under the injured arm, lean slightly to the side and forward. This will give access to the underarm. Use a face cloth, soap and water ensuring the area is dried thoroughly. Do not try to raise your arm A fractured Humerus can be very mobile. You may feel or hear the bone moving; this is not unusual but by allowing your arm to relax from the shoulder and hang loose may reduce or even prevent this from happening.

ROTATOR CUFF PATHOLOGY The three most common types of rotator cuff pathology are tendinitis, tendinosus, and tearing. Excessive physi- cal stress placed on the rotator cuff tendon can cause ir- ritation and inflammation of the tendon, in other words, tendinitis. If the physical stress is chronic, the inflam- matory process often subsides and degeneration of the fascial tendinous tissue occurs; this is referred to as tendinosus. The degeneration of tendinosus results in weakness of the tendon’s structure, and with continued Teres minor physical stress, whether it is overuse microtrauma or a macrotrauma, a rotator cuff tendon tear might occur.

It is also related to a number of pathological condi- tions including Chiari malformations, various tumours, and occipital dysplasias. The aim of the study was to evaluate the morphology of the foramen magnum in adult individuals in relation to sex. Material and methods: The morphology of the foramen magnum was evalu- ated using 3D computer tomography images in 313 individuals (142 male, 171 female) aged 20–30 years. Results: The mean values of the foramen length (37.06 ± 3.07 vs. 35.47 ± ± 2.60 mm), breadth (32.98 ± 2.78 vs. 30.95 ± 2.71 mm) and area (877.40 ± ± 131.64 vs.

These are the: Neurocranium (Chondocranium) Dermatocranium Splanchnocranium Each part is distinguished by its ontogenetic and phylogenetic origins although all three work together to produce the skull. The first two are considered part of the Cranial Skeleton. The latter is considered as a separate Visceral Skeleton in our textbook. Many other morphologists include the visceral skeleton as part of the cranial skeleton. This is a complex group of elements that are derived from the ancestral skeleton of the branchial arches and that ultimately gives rise to the jaws and the skeleton of the gill
