Data Trace Editor – Discussion: – in forearm, attention is directed to interval between tendons of ECRL & Brachioradialis, which is optimal site of insertion for proximal half pin; – superficial branch of radial nerve emerges in interval between ECRL brachioradialis mentioned tendons & should be identified & protected when inserting … Read more
– Indications: – indications for radial shortening must be strict; – no significant collapse or fragmentation of lunate is present; – there should be some distal radioulnar discrepancy; – Technique: – use radiovolar approach; – six-hole compression plate is measured; – 2 screws … Read more
– See: – Posterior Interosseous Nerve Syndrome : – Radial Nerve Palsy Associated w/ Humeral Shaft Frx: – Radial Nerve Block – Tendon Transfers for Radial Nerve Palsy: – Anatomy: – three posterior divsions of brachial plexus form posterior cord: (C5 , C6 , C7, C8, T1) – radial nerve (C5, C6, C7 , C8 … Read more
– See: Radial Nerve: – Discussion: – superficial or sensory branch passes downward emerging dorsally from beneath Brachioradialis tendon about 5 cm proximal to radial styloid; they lies just deep to the superficial veins; – just proximal to the wrist, several branches fan out to provides sensory … Read more

– See: Radial Radial Inclination – Discussion: – radial-ulnar translation of hand on forearm is may be used in realigning distal radial fragment on the radial shaft; – w/ ulnar translation, the 1st and 2nd extensor compartment tendons and their associatted retinaculum create a radial soft tissue hinge; … Read more
– Discussion: – mean radial inclination was 24 degrees (range, 19 to 29 degrees); – measured on PA view, & describes relative angle of distal radial articular surface to a line perpendicular to long axis of the radius; – this angle normally measures between 16 and 28 deg, av … Read more
– Discussion: – indicated for comminuted radial head frx which occur w/ concomitant MCL injury, dislocation, or RU joint disruption (Essex Lopresti Fracture); – will serve as spacer & will prevents proximal migration of radius; – w/ RU joint disruption, radial head spacer alone does not restore satisfactory axial stability w/o pinning the distal radioulnar … Read more
– Discussion: – most commonly found in medial aspect of lateral meniscus; – radial tears of the posterior aspect of the lateral meniscus may be found in association with an anterior cruciate disruption; – may be associated w/ meniscal cysts which do not have to be removed … Read more
– See: – Adult Radial Neck Frx and Radial Head Frx; – Pediatric Elbow Injuries – Discussion: – radial neck frx are more common in children, whereas frx of radial head occur primarily in adults; – site of frx in childhood is either thru physis w/ … Read more
