Q

Elbow Joint (Movements)

A

A very stable hinge (ginglymus) joint because of the wrench shape of the trochlear notch of the ulna fitting around the trochlea of the humerus. The joint is also strengthened by strong medial and lateral ligaments. Flexion unrestricted by bone or ligaments. It stops when the soft tissue of the forearm meets that of the arm. Extension is limited by contact of the olecranon with the floor of the olecranon fossa of the humerus.

Q

(Fracture of the) Radius and/or Ulna

A
  • Fractures usually result from severe injury and direct injury usually produces transverse fractures of both bones, * Isolated fractures of either bone can occur, * Displacement of the fragment is usually considerable and will depend on the pull of the attached muscles, * If the normal anatomical relationship are not restored pronation and supination may be impaired

Q

(Fractured) Scaphoid (Symptoms)

A

Symptoms: * There is some swelling and pain and many patients just think they have “sprained” their wrist, * Tenderness and swelling in the anatomical snuffbox makes one suspicious of the this type of fracture, * Initial radiography may not reveal a fracture, * Because of the poor blood supply to the bone, union of the fractured parts may take several months and can produce degenerative arthritis of the first CM joint
