1. Wrist Fracture – Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment A wrist fracture or Distal Radius Fracture is a medical term used to denote a broken wrist. The human wrist comprises 8 small bones which are together joined with the two bones of the forearm, the ulna, and radius. A breakage or crack in any of these ten bones is referred to as a wrist […]...
2. Radial Head Dislocation – Causes, Symptoms, Treatment Radial Head Dislocation is uncommon. It most commonly presents as a partial dislocation or subluxation, also known as nursemaid’s elbow, seen in children. Complete radial head dislocation, although rare, is most commonly associated with high force injuries of the arm, and therefore are often associated with a forearm fracture or dislocation. A thorough history, physical […]...
3. Forearm Fractures – Types and Classification Forearm Fractures/The forearm is the part of the arm between the wrist and the elbow. It is made up of two bones: the radius and the ulna. Forearm fractures are common in childhood, accounting for more than 40% of all childhood fractures. About three out of four forearm fractures in children occur at the wrist […]...

5. Hand Fracture Hand fracture means the injury, dislocation, fracture, or breaks of the bone of the hand with injury of tendon, cartilage, ligament, and soft tissue laceration. You may have difficulty using your hands or wrist along with numbness and tingling in the fingers. There may be a pain as you try to move your fingers, especially […]...
6. Radial Tunnel Syndrome: Orthopedic Treatment  The radial nerve originates from the side of the neck and crosses through a tunnel, known as radial tunnel, which is formed by bone and muscles in the elbow, while passing down to the forearm. Radial Tunnel Syndrome, also known as Radial Nerve Entrapment, is a condition that results due to compression, pressing or pinching […]...
7. Physical Examination of Forearm A forearm exercise test is a simple blood extraction in the forearm before and after the performance of a short exercise that is a very useful test in the diagnosis of certain disorders affecting the metabolic functions of the muscles. Inspection of the elbow and forearm, palpation, range of movement, pronation versus supination, testing motor power […]...
8. Physical Examination of  Wrist Physical examination of the wrist requires knowledge of wrist anatomy and pathology to make a diagnosis or narrow the differential diagnosis. Symptoms are provoked by palpation and signs are produced by manipulation. Negative findings elsewhere in the wrist are important. The final diagnosis may require diagnostic imaging. Follows the IP-PASS examination methodology Inspection Palpation Passive Range of Motion […]...
9. Scaphoid Wrist Fracture: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment Scaphoid or Navicular fracture is a medical condition that occurs with the breakage of one or more of the small bones present in the wrist and the base of the thumb. The wrist joint is formed where the two bones of the forearm namely ulna and radius meet the eight small sized carpal bones. The […]...
10. Radial Nerve – Branch, Nerve Innervation, Function The radial nerve is a peripheral nerve that provides motor and sensory function to the arm. The motor function innervates the posterior compartment of the arm including the medial and lateral heads of the triceps brachii muscles in addition to all 12 muscles in the posterior forearm compartment, as well as, the extrinsic extensor muscles […]...
11. Wrist Joint – Anatomy, Nerve Supply, Functions Wrist Joint/The wrist joint also referred to as the radiocarpal joint is a condyloid synovial joint of the distal upper limb that connects and serves as a transition point between the forearm and hand. A condyloid joint is a modified ball and socket joint that allows for flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction movements. Blood Supply […]...
12. Radial Nerve Block – Indications, Contraindications Radial Nerve Block rests upon disrupting impulse conduction in the nerve with drugs such as local anesthetics that can be given locally to block specific nerves and can be reversed as needed. Disrupting nerve impulse conduction can be done in any region of the body where nerves are easily accessible for visualization and injection. A […]...
13. Distal Biceps Tendon Rupture Biceps, also termed as the biceps brachii, refers to the thick muscle that lies in front part of the upper arm. It is connected both to the shoulder and the elbow by two different tendons that help attach muscles to the bones. The tendons are made up of collagen which gives them flexibility and a […]...
14. Wrist Dislocation; Causes, Symptoms, Treatment The wrist joint connects the two bones of the forearm (ulnar and radius) to the smaller bones of the hand. There are eight carpal bones in the hand which are held together and connected to the other bones by ligaments. The eight carpal bones that form the wrist joint are named as the Capitate, Trapezoid, […]...
15. Radial Nerve Anesthesia – Indications, Contraindications Radial nerve anesthesia rests upon disrupting impulse conduction in the nerve with drugs such as local anesthetics that can be given locally to block specific nerves and can be reversed as needed.
