Radial neuropathy. The suprascapular, axillary, and radial nerves. Radial neuropathy is a type of mononeuropathy which results from acute trauma to the radial nerve that extends the length of the arm. [ 3] It is known as transient paresthesia when sensation is temporarily abnormal. [ 4]
The radial styloid process is found on the lateral surface of the distal radius bone. [ 1] It extends obliquely downward into a strong, conical projection. The tendon of the brachioradialis attaches at its base. [ 2] The radial collateral ligament of the wrist attaches at its apex. The lateral surface is marked by a flat groove for the tendons ...
Distal radius fracture. A Colles fracture as seen on X-ray: It is a type of distal radius fracture. A distal radius fracture, also known as wrist fracture, is a break of the part of the radius bone which is close to the wrist. [ 1] Symptoms include pain, bruising, and rapid-onset swelling. [ 1] The ulna bone may also be broken.
Ulnar neuropathy is a disorder involving the ulnar nerve. Ulnar neuropathy may be caused by entrapment of the ulnar nerve with resultant numbness and tingling. [ 3] It may also cause weakness or paralysis of the muscles supplied by the nerve. Ulnar neuropathy may affect the elbow as cubital tunnel syndrome.
A repetitive strain injury ( RSI) is an injury to part of the musculoskeletal or nervous system caused by repetitive use, vibrations, compression or long periods in a fixed position. [ 1] Other common names include repetitive stress injury, repetitive stress disorders, cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs), and overuse syndrome.
Madelung deformation, a type of bone malformation associated with both SHOX and SHOXY genes mutations. Madelung's deformity is usually characterized by malformed wrists and wrist bones and is often associated with Léri-Weill dyschondrosteosis. It can be bilateral (in both wrists) or just in the one wrist.
When the X-ray is diagnostic and there is a convincing Terry Thomas sign it is a static scaphoid instability. When the scaphoid is made unstable by either the patient or by manipulation by the examining physician it is a dynamic instability. [11] SNAC. In order to diagnose a SNAC wrist you need a PA view X-ray and a lateral view X-ray.
Radial dysplasia, also known as radial club hand or radial longitudinal deficiency, is a congenital difference occurring in a longitudinal direction resulting in radial deviation of the wrist and shortening of the forearm. It can occur in different ways, from a minor anomaly to complete absence of the radius, radial side of the carpal bones and ...
