1 Overview of upper limb Dr. Ashraf Hussain

2 Upper limb  Associated with lateral aspect of the lower portion of neck and thoracic wall  Suspended from the trunk by muscles and a small skeletal articulation between the clavicle and the sternum-the sternoclavicular joint.  The upper limb is divided into Shoulder Arm Forearm Hand

3 Segments of upper limb  Shoulder: pectoral, scapular, lateral supra clavicular  Arm (L. brachium) : first and longest segment of the limb  Forearm (L. antibrachium): second largest segment of the limb-extends between elbow and wrist  Hand (L.manus): distal to the forearm-wrist, palm dorsum of hand, fingers

6 How do upper limb differs from lower limb?

7 Distinction from lower limb  Not involved in weight bearing  Pectoral girdle is attached to the axial skeleton only anteriorly via a very mobile joint  Paired bones of the forearm are able to be moved relative to each other  Hands have long, mobile fingers and an opposable thumb

8 Upper limb  Mobility  Ability to grasp  Strike  Conduct fine motor skills

9 Areas of Transition in upper linb

10 The glenohumeral joint  The glenohumeral joint allows the arm to move around three axes with a wide range of motion.  Movements of the arm at this joint are  flexion  extension  abduction  adduction  medial rotation (internal rotation)  lateral rotation (external rotation)  circumduction

16 Hand  Hand as a mechanical tool: grip  Hand as a sensory tool: Touch - high density of somatic sensory receptors

17 Movements  Scapulothoracic  Glenohumeral  Elbow  Radioulnar  wrist

18 Bones of upper limb  Clavicle  Scapula  Humerus  Ulna  Radius  Bones of hand: scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate

19 Important features  Muscles of upper limb  Joints of upper limb  Axilla  Brachial plexus  Brachial artery: ulnar, radial  Nerves: musculocutaneus, radial, median ulnar  Cubital fossa  Compartments of the forearm: flexor, extensor  Hand

20 Joints of upper limb  Sternoclavicular  Acromioclavicular  Glenohumeral  Elbow  wrist

21 The deformity of shoulder dislocation.

22 Bones of upper limb

23 Danger of nerve injury in humeral fractures

24 The right carpus, metacarpus and phalanges.
