Radius Fracture
The radius is one of the two bones that form the forearm. It is part of two joints, the elbow (together with the humerus and the ulna) and the wrist (radius, ulna and the hand/carpal bones). Due to its anatomical position, it supports the movements and functioning of both joints so injuries to this bone can severely affect the elbow and the wrist.
Scaphoid Wrist Fracture
The scaphoid is the biggest bone among the carpal bones, and it plays a fundamental role in forming the wrist joint. Falling onto an outstretched hand is the most common mechanisms of scaphoid fractures. These fractures can happen in all population groups, from kids to the elderly, athletes and the sedentary population.
Elbow Dislocation
The elbow is one of the most commonly dislocated joints in both the athletic and general population. Depending on the degree of bone separation, dislocation (full separation of joint with the bones out of place) or subluxation (partial separation of the joint with the bones still in contact) are possible.
Finger Sprain
A finger sprain typically consists of an injury to one of the ligaments that maintains the stability of the joints, which typically happens when the finger mobility is pushed too far. These types of injuries generally happen when the finger impacts with an external object and the force applied to the finger leads to a twist or overstretching of the joint.
Distal humerus fracture
The humerus is the bone that constitutes the arm, connecting the shoulder to the forearm. This long bone is anatomically divided into three parts, the shaft (central body) and the two epiphyses (proximal and distal ends). Distal humerus fractures are injuries located at the humerus end closer to the elbow joint.
Wrist Sprain
A wrist sprain is a general medical term implemented to describe a condition where a traumatic event or a repetitive overuse occurs in the wrist and twists the joint, often leading to some degree of ligament injuries. This type of injury is common in both athletic and general populations and is typically caused by a fall on the outstretched hand or a force applied to the hand that leads to a twisting motion of the wrist
Radial head fracture
The radial head is the proximal part of the radius that articulates with both the humerus and the ulna. It has the paramount function of allowing elbow flexion-extension and rotation movements. Fractures to the radial head are rare overall, but unfortunately common when elbow fractures are reported. The typical injury mechanism consists of a direct traumatic event to the elbow or a fall with the hand in extension.
EPICONDYLITIS (TENNIS ELBOW)
Epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow, refers to an overload-related condition of the wrist extensors muscle group, located on the lateral (eternal) side of the elbow joint. This type of condition typically arises when an excessive amount of repetitive strain, to which the elbow and wrist have been exposed over days, weeks and months preceding the onset of the symptoms, exceeds the structural capacity of the wrist extensors muscles.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
The carpal tunnel is a narrow space in which multiple structures such as nerves and tendons pass through to reach the hand. It is delineated by different structures, with the carpal bones constituting the “floor” and the “sides” of the tunnel, and the flexor retinaculum or transverse carpal ligament (generally speaking a thick band of tissue), the “roof”.
