Adult Humerus Shaft Fractures The intramedullary rod is commonly used to treat humeral shaft fractures. The intramedullary rod is a long metal rod that is placed inside the hollow shaft of a tubular bone such as the humerus. The metal rod can be inserted into the humerus through a small incision at the shoulder.

At the elbow, it connects primarily to the ulna, as the forearm's radial bone connects to the wrist. At the shoulder, the humerus connects to the frame of the body via the glenoid fossa of the scapula. The humerus is the foundation to which many muscles insert, such as the deltoid, the pectoralis major, and others. The brachial artery travels most of the bone's length, before it subdivides into the ulnar and radial arteries at the elbow.

- Humerus fracture. A humerus fracture is a bone fracture of the bone of the upper arm, the humerus. Fractures of the humerus may be classified by the location of the fracture and divided into fractures of the proximal region, which is near the shoulder, the middle region, which is the shaft of the humerus, and the distal region, which is near the elbow.

Medial Epicondylitis Request a Consultation. Medial Epicondylitis, or golfer’s elbow, is similar to Lateral Epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, in that it is also a painful condition where the tendons of the forearm become degenerative at their attachment site on the inside of the elbow.ost people who get golfer’s elbow are in their 30s-60s and it is usually their dominant arm. Medial epicondylitis occurs less often than lateral epicondylitis, however, a person can have both lateral and medial epicondylitis at the same time.

What Is the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament? The medial patellofemoral attaches, specifically, to the anterior or front side of the epicondyle, which lies immediately behind the ligament and lateral to the patella. Also in contact with the medial patellofemoral ligament is the vastus medialis obliquus, a muscle of the quadriceps group in the front of the thigh.ocated in the knee, the medial patellofemoral ligament links the medial epicondyle of the femur, or thigh bone, to the patella, or kneecap.

Anatomical terms of bone The head of a bone usually refers to the proximal end of the bone. The shaft refers to the elongated sections of long bone, and the neck the segment between the head and shaft (or body). The end of the long bone opposite to the head is known as the base. condyle (/ˈkɒndəl/ or /ˈkɒndaɪl/ ; is the round prominence at the end of a bone, most often part of a joint-an articulation with another bone. The epicondyle refers to a projection near a condyle, particularly the medial epicondyle of the humerus.

Elbow When in anatomical position there are four main bony landmarks of the elbow. At the lower part of the humerus are the medial and lateral epicondyles, on the side closest to the body (medial) and on the side away from the body (lateral) surfaces. The third landmark is the olecranon found at the head of the ulna.

Humerus The arm is the region between the shoulder and the elbow and consists of one bone, the humerus. The humerus, the longest and largest bone of the upper limb, articulates with the scapula proximally at the glenohumeral joint and has distal articulations with the radius and ulna at the elbow joint. The distal end of the humerus consists of two rounded prominences referred to as the medial and lateral epicondyles.

Elbow Joint Anatomy Bones and osteology. The elbow joint is composed of the distal end of the humerus and the proximal ends of the radius and the ulna (see the images below). Elbow joint, anterior view. Elbow joint, posterior view. The humerus contributes the humeral condyle, composed of the trochlea medially from anterior to posterior and the capitulum laterally on the anterior aspect, to the articular surface of the elbow joint.

Proximal, Mid-Shaft, and Distal Humerus Fractures The humerus bone is the long bone that runs from a patient’s shoulder to their elbow. A humerus fracture is usually divided into three different types of injuries: proximal fractures, mid-shaft and distal humerus fractures. Most commonly, a fracture of the humerus occurs close to the shoulder.

Fractured Humerus Fractures of the humerus are common and may result from injury. However, they are also associated with pathological fractures and osteoporosis, particularly in the elderly. 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.
