    Humerus

    It is long bone which is formed of upper end ,shaft and lower


    end .

    Upper end

    Shaft

    Lower end .
    • The humerus is the bone of the arm
    • It articulates with the scapula at the shoulder, and the
    radius and ulna at the elbow.

    • Major markings:
    – Proximal humerus includes the head, anatomical
    and surgical necks, greater and lesser tubercles, and
    the intertubercular groove.
    – Distal humerus includes the capitulum, trochlea,
    medial and lateral epicondyles, and the coronoid and
    olecranon fossae.
    – Medial portion includes the radial groove and the
    deltoid process.

    2. Radial n. & profonda brachii artery

    Forearm

    • The bones of the forearm are the radius and ulna.


    • They articulate proximally with the humerus and
    distally with the wrist bones.
    • They also articulate with each other proximally and
    distally at small radioulnar joints.
    • Interosseous membrane connects the two bones along
    their entire length.

    Ulna

    • The ulna lies medially in the forearm and is slightly


    longer than the radius.
    • Forms the major portion of the elbow joint with the
    humerus.
    • Its major markings include the olecranon, coronoid
    process, trochlear notch, radial notch, and the
    styloid process.
    Radius
    • The radius lies lateral to the ulna and is thin at its
    proximal end, widened distally.
    • The superior surface of the head articulates with the
    capitulum of the humerus.
    • Medially, the head articulates with the radial notch of
    the ulna.
    • Major markings include the radial tuberosity, ulnar
    notch, and styloid process.

    Fracture of olecranon

     Olecranon fracture classified according to stability, displacement,


    and comminution.
    Fraction in the radius
     Common radial fracture about 2 cm above its lower end.

     Colles’s fracture of distal radius causes ‘ Dinner fork deformity’.


    madelung's deformity

    malformed wrists with displacement of lower end of ulna.


    Due to retarded growth of lower end of radius.
    Skeleton of the hand

    is formed of three regions arranged in proximodistal


    direction:-
    (i) Carpus :- which is formed of 8 bones called
    Carpal bones.
    (ii) Metacarpus :- which is formed of 5 metacarpus
    bones .
    (iii) Phalanges:- which are 14 in number.
    The carpal bones

    • Consists of eight bones:-

    1- Proximal row:- Scaphoid, lunate, triquetral, and


    pisiform.

    2-Distal row :- Trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and


    hamate.

    Phalanges

    • Each hand contains 14 long bones called phalanges.

    • Fingers (digits) are numbered 1-5, beginning with


    the thumb.
    • Each finger (except the thumb) has three phalanges
    – distal, middle, and proximal.
    • The thumb has no middle phalanx.
