Humerus

As technology advances all around the world, baseball pitchers are exposed to new ways to throw the baseball at high velocities. This is causing baseball to become a lot more competitive. Players are often playing baseball year round instead of participating in other sports. This year round throwing and arm fatigue is putting more stress on pitchers’ elbows than ever before. This is part of the reason why the number of UCL Reconstructions, commonly know as Tommy John Surgery, is on the rise and…

6/13/2012. Patient is a 64-year-old female customer service representative who sustained a work-related injury when she slipped and fell while she was going down the stairs. Per OMNI, she was initially diagnosed with closed fracture of the upper end humerus, and adhesive capsulitis of the left shoulder. Internal QME Dr. Sachs deemed that she has reached permanent and stationary status last 6/17/15. She is post-op left shoulder surgery on 6/29/15. Based on the medical report dated 07/07/16 by…

* Neuromusculoskeletal/ Movement --The person will not be able to bend their elbow and holding their arm is also going to represent an issue. Because some of the elbow´s structures (radius, ulna, humerus) are going to be out of their place, movement is going to be impeded. *Skin -- The skin is going to suffer changes , showing swallowing and irritation over the elbow dislocation surface. *Organ System—Organ system structures are not going to be affected…

The process of estimating a persons stature from a skeletal remains has a long history in physical anthropology. The correlation between a persons height and the length of their bones, throughout all ages allows the osteologist a better frame from which they can reconstruct an individuals stature, with the use of different skeletal elements. The use of body collections such as the Hamann and Todd collection that house around 2,600 skeletal remains of individual, who died in the 1900’s are…

Muscular skeletal system Flat bones = blue (There are flat bones in the skull and the pelvis. The function of flat bones is to protect internal organs such as the brain, heart, and pelvic organs. Flat bones are somewhat flattened, and can provide protection, like a shield; flat bones can also provide large areas of attachment for muscles.) [3] Long bones = red (The long bones, longer than they are wide, include the femur (the longest bone in the body) as well as relatively…

Stegosaurus Case/ specimen number: uncatalogued 2. A homologous morphological structure that can examine is the bones that make up the hoof and legs of horses with the arms of humans. Both horses and humans exhibit the presence of similar bones such as the humerus, radius, ulna, phalanges etc. The phalanges is what mostly makes up the hoof of a horse and finger of humans have a different function in each specie. For example, while humans use their phalanges for grabbing objects, horses uses…

that brace the scapula and arms making up the shoulder); and 2 scapula bones (known as the shoulder blades functioning as a stabilizer and provides movement of the shoulder). The attachments of the upper extremity from the pectoral area includes: 2 humerus (these are the largest and longest bones in the upper extremity articulating with the scapula, ulna, and radius); 2 radius (one of the 2 bones that forms the forearm); 2 ulnas (the second bone that makes up the forearm, on the proximal end…

injuries. If pain, weakness, or both are present, these tests are thought to be positive. Since pain modifies muscle strength, there is a concern about the reliability of the empty can test.1 This concern arises because of the internal rotation of the humerus results in impingement, therefore potentially decreases the usefulness of the test. With the empty can test, pain decreases the specificity of the overall test- pain can even be present with an intact rotator cuff.5 Additionally, there can…

the “full can” position since it caused minimal impingement and was therefore less painful to perform. In fact, exercising in the empty can position is still highly debatable by orthopedic practitioners due to the anatomical configuration of the humerus and coracoacromial arch. Anterior and posterior capsular self-stretches were taught and patients were instructed to hold each…

No concomitant injuries to the distal humerus or the radius are…
