Fractured Humerus
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The humeral head articulates with the glenoid fossa of the scapula. The anatomical neck separates the greater and lesser tuberosities from the humeral head. The long head of biceps runs between the tuberosities in the bicipital groove, and the surgical neck is just below the greater and lesser tuberosities. The radial nerve runs posteriorly around the middle third of the humeral shaft in the spiral groove. The medial and lateral epicondyles are at the lower end of the humerus, and the joint surface consists of the capitulum (articulates with the head of the radius) and the trochlea (articulates with the ulna).

A 41-year-old right-handed woman was involved in a traffic accident and landed on the right arm while the right shoulder was in flexion. She experienced pain and severe impairment of right shoulder motion immediately following the accident. She was misdiagnosed with a fractured proximal humerus with no displacement and was treated conservatively by immobilisation. There was inadequate recovery ...
متن کاملBiomechanical Analysis of Nail and Plate Osteosynthesis for the Humerus Fracture
SCIENTIFIC PROBLEM Fractures of the proximal humerus are one of the most common type of fractures. In particular, elderly people are affected due to loss of bone density, i.e. osteoporosis. Biological, anatomical and biomechanical aspects influence the clinical functional results of the operative therapy. For the operative therapy, different osteosynthesis techniques are known. In the last few ...

متن کاملIndications for computed tomography (CT-) diagnostics in proximal humeral fractures: a comparative study of plain radiography and computed tomography
BACKGROUND Precise indications for computed tomography (CT) in proximal humeral fractures are not established. The purpose of this study was a comparison of conventional radiographic views with different CT reconstructions with 2 D and 3 D imaging to establish indications for additional CT diagnostics depending on the fractured parts. METHODS In a prospective diagnostic study in two level 1 t...
متن کاملMitford Hospital Reports.—No. V
Ahmokee, a Hindoo toy, aged 12, was admitted into the Mitford Hospital on the 23rd May, 1866. Four days previously he had fallen from the branch of a mangoe tree, about twelve feet from the ground, and fractured the radius and ulna of the right forearm at the junction of the lower and middle thirds. On admission there was an extensive transverse laceration of muscles, through which the four fra...
