Humerus

Seeing that rotator cuff tendinitis is very frequently diagnosed, I was interested to learn more about it and what makes it so common. A shoulder is one of the most complex joints of the body. The anatomy of the shoulder starts where the humerus fits into the scapula almost as if it were mimicking a ball and socket. The scapula has a little tip of itself overlooking the tendons of the shoulder called the acromion and a bit of itself fanning out, a part called the coracoid. Also connected

Management of proximal humerus fractures in the elderly has always posed a challenge to the orthopaedicians in their daily practice. The earliest documentation regarding proximal humerus fractures was by the Egyptians dating back to 1600 BC. The Edwin Smith Papyrus (copied circa 1600 BC) in columns XII and XIII has documented about three cases of proximal humerus treated by bandaging and splinting technique [Figure 1]. 1 Later in 415 BC, Hippocrates approach to fractures of humerus was noted in De Fracturis

shoulder movements, and will discuss the evidence for scapular control to rehabilitate Glenohumeral joint injuries. Anatomy of the shoulder The shoulder complex is made up of four different joints. These are the articulations of the clavicle, the humerus, the

Najea Dixon Muscular Physiology In our everyday lives, we use and depend on so many different parts of our body. We use certain parts of our body so much that we are not even aware of how important it is in helping us survive. Regarding the different muscles in our body, although there are so many of them, they all play an important role and are all dependent on one another. Muscles are crucial for stability and mobility. We all work our muscles and occasionally strain our muscles on an everyday

different tendon in the body. This tendon is often taken from the hamstring, forearm, or foot of the person (Baseball Reference). The procedure takes the tendon and threads it through like a figure eight pattern with holes that are drilled into the humerus and ulna bone. Most people say it’s called the “dead arm injury” (Baseball Reference). Tommy John played for the Los Angeles Dodgers as a lefty pitcher. During a game, John was taken out of a game when he couldn’t even make the ball to the plate

SLAP Lesion Tear A SLAP lesion tear is an injury to the shoulder. This can cause painful symptoms and difficulty with overhead activities whether they be athletic or those of daily living. In 1985, Andrews et al were the first to describe the superior labrum tear. In their experience, they identified tears of the labrum from throwing athletes located anterosuperor near the origin of the bicep tendon. The cause of the lesion to tear was the bicep tendon being pulled off the labrum from the force

after several hip injuries, he has never dislocated his hip. a. Compare and contrast the anatomical physiology of the shoulder joint and the hip joint. The shoulder and hip are considered ball and socket joints. In the shoulder, the “ball” of the humerus fits into the “socket” formed by the shoulder blade. In the hip, the “ball’ of the femur fits into the “socket” of the pelvis. These joints allow the motion in the body. Also, the shoulder joint and the joint are both synovial joints (diarthroses)

scapula, the humerus, and the patella. However, despite the common bones, the chicken skeleton contains bones that humans do not have such as the pygostyle, furcula, and sclerotic ring, while as humans have bones that chickens do not share such as the hyoid, calcaneus, and stapes. Despite being different species, the chicken and human skeletons have numerous bones in common. A few of the several shared bones includes: the mandible, the clavicle, the sternum, the scapula, the humerus, and the patella

Boxing, a fierce sport that requires both quick thinking and fast reflexes. The right hook is known for its knock downs and defeats of even the most elite of players and was a popular spectator sport in Ancient Rome. Since then the world of boxing has only grown, bringing out elite athletes like Muhammed Ali and Mike Tyson. There are five phases of the Right Hook punch, the starting position, the wind up phase, initial swing phase, contact phase, and lastly the recoil phase. The start position

Background: Proximal end of the humerus is a common site for both primary and metastatic bone tumors. Limbe salvage with endoprosthetic replacement is the most common means of reconstruction but it is proved to be just a spacer with inferior shoulder function. So it can be replaced by cheaper spacers specially in poor societies. Patients and methods: This study included 20 patients,fourteen were females. With mean age of 40.4 years (range 12 to 60 ). Diagnosed as 6 osteosarcomas , two
