Galeazzi Fractures most commonly result from a fall onto an outstretched hand with an extended wrist and hyperpronated forearm. The energy from the radius fracture gets transmitted towards the radioulnar joint leading to dislocation of the DRUJ. These fractures occur Read More …

Wrist Distal Radius Fracture – Causes, Symptoms, Treatment
Wrist Distal Radius Fracture/A distal radius fracture, commonly known as a wrist fracture, is defined by the involvement of the metaphysis of the distal radius. The fracture may or may not involve the radiocarpal joint, distal radioulnar joint, and/or the Read More …
Muscles Muscle Attachment of Forearm
Muscles Muscle Attachment of Forearm/ The forearm is the portion of the upper extremity extending from the elbow to the wrist. The skeletal framework for this region arises from two primary osseous structures: the radius laterally and the ulna medially. Read More …
Avascular Necrosis of the Lunate – Symptoms, Treatment
Avascular Necrosis of the Lunate/Kienbock’s Disease, also known as avascular necrosis of the lunate, is a condition in which the lunate bone, one of eight small bones in the wrist, loses its blood supply, leading to the death of the Read More …
Kienbock’s Disease – Causes, Symptoms, Treatment
Kienbock’s Disease, also known as avascular necrosis of the lunate, is a condition in which the lunate bone, one of eight small bones in the wrist, loses its blood supply, leading to the death of the bone. The lunate is Read More …
Nerves Supply and Functions of Ulna
Nerves Supply and Functions of Ulna/The ulna is a long bone found in the forearm that stretches from the elbow to the smallest finger, and when in anatomical position, is found on the medial side of the forearm. It runs parallel to the radius, the other long bone in the forearm, Read More …

Anatomy and Bone Landmarks of Ulna/The ulna is a long bone found in the forearm that stretches from the elbow to the smallest finger, and when in anatomical position, is found on the medial side of the forearm. It runs parallel to the radius, the other long bone in the forearm, Read More …
Ulna – Anatomy, Muscle Attachment, Movement, Function
Ulna/The ulna is a long bone found in the forearm that stretches from the elbow to the smallest finger, and when in anatomical position, is found on the medial side of the forearm. It runs parallel to the radius, the other long bone in the forearm, and is the bigger and Read More …
Monteggia Fractures – Causes, Symptoms, Treatment
Monteggia fractures most commonly result from a direct blow to the forearm with the elbow extended and forearm in hyperpronation. The energy from the ulnar fracture gets transmitted along the interosseous membrane leading to rupture of the proximal quadrate and Read More …
Hamate Fractures – Causes, Symptoms, Treatment
Hamate fractures are rare and underreported. These injuries are usually misdiagnosed or confused with simple wrist sprains. Delayed diagnosis is not uncommon. The hamate is a triangular-shaped bone that forms part of the distal carpal row, articulating with the capitate Read More …
Nerves Supply of Femur – Anatomy, Bone Landmarks
Nerves Supply of Femur/The femur or thigh bone is the proximal bone of the hindlimb in tetrapod vertebrates (for example, the largest bone of the human thigh). The head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum in the pelvic bone forming the hip joint, while the distal part of the femur articulates with the tibia and kneecap, forming the knee joint. By most measures, the Read More …
