Loss of radial inclination is associated with loss of grip strength. [5] Radial length - It is the vertical distance in millimetres between a line tangential to the articular surface of the ulna and a tangential line drawn at the most distal point of radius (radial styloid). Shortening of radial length more than 4mm is associated with wrist ...
Ulnar impaction syndrome is a painful condition of excessive contact and wear between the ulna and the carpus with an associated is a degenerative tear of the TFCC. Positive, neutral, and negative ulnar variance. Relationship between radial length and ulnar variance. Radial length is the measure from distal ulna to radial styloid process.
Traumatic tears are usually radial or vertical in the meniscus and more likely to produce a moveable fragment that can catch in the knee and therefore require surgical treatment. [citation needed] A meniscus can tear due to an internally or externally rotated knee in a flexed position, with the foot in a flexed position. [5]
This classification provides an anatomic description of tears, it does not guide treatment or indicate prognosis. [1] Class 1 – Traumatic Class 1A. Central perforation Class 1B. Ulnar avulsion (with or without styloid fracture) Class 1C. Distal avulsion (from carpus) Class 1D. Radial avulsion (with or without sigmoid notch fracture)
A bone fracture (abbreviated FRX or Fx, F x, or #) is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of any bone in the body. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several fragments, known as a comminuted fracture. [1]
A biceps tendon rupture or bicep tear is a complete or partial rupture of a tendon of the biceps brachii muscle. It can affect any of the three biceps brachii tendons - the proximal tendon of the short head of the muscle belly, the proximal tendon of the long head of the muscle belly, or the distal tendon. The characteristic finding of a biceps ...
More chronic injury occurs with osteoarthritis, made worse by obesity and high-impact activity. The medial meniscus and the medial compartment are more commonly affected than the lateral compartment. Often, moderate to severe injury or injury past early middle age to the meniscus will indicate a total knee replacement.
Stable type 1 and 2 radial head fractures often have good outcomes with most cases regaining complete range of motion and having minimal residual stiffness or pain. [5] Outcomes for unstable type 2-4 radial head fractures vary greatly depending on the severity of the injury and the surgical intervention.
