olecranon- process of the ulna that forms the outer bump of the elbow and fits into the fossa of the humerus when the arm is extended olecranon process appendage,outgrowth,process- a natural prolongation or projection from a part of an organism either animal or plant; "a bony process" ...
tuberosity- a protuberance on a bone especially for attachment of a muscle or ligament eminence,tubercle deltoid eminence,deltoid tuberosity- a bump on the outside of the humerus where the deltoid muscle attaches appendage,outgrowth,process- a natural prolongation or projection from a part of an or...
The invention relates to a bone plate (1), which is suitable for supporting fractures, non-unions and osteotomies of the olecranon and the proximal ulna. The bone plate (1) comprises the following parts: - a distal longitudinal shaft part (2), which has a number of plate holes (11); ...
hyperextended elbow is the usual mechanism of injury in supracondylarhumeral fractures; however, if there is a significant varus or valgus stress applied simultaneously, a metaphyseal olecranon fracture can occur. Shear injuries, which typically produce an oblique fracture line, are rare and can ...
The olecranon process is a bony projection of the ulna bone that can be felt at the elbow. It encloses the elbow joint and serves...
Introduction: The localization of bone tuberculosis at the level of the olecranon is rare and can pose a problem of differential diagnosis with a tumoral affection. Only the biopsy allows the diagnosis of certainty. The goal was to report our first case to do a review of the literature. ...
subclassified on the basis of the orientation of their fracture line: transverse, oblique, or comminuted. Avulsion fractures are also considered unstable fractures because the triceps mechanism is typically disrupted in this type of fracture, which requires the triceps to be repaired back down to ...
Olecranon process is the proximal expansion of ulna bone which takes part in formation of elbow joint and is essential for elbow joint movements. Therefore, fractures of olecranon are to be treated by stable fixation and early mobilization. We have, in our study, tried to identify the best ...
side fixation bone fracture plate, which belongs to the technical field of orthopaedic medical apparatus and aims to provide an olecroanon bone fracture plate which realizes tension side fixation, strengthens the fixing strength and stability of a fracture part and facilitates the healing of fracture...
To its rough posterior two-thirds of the proximal olecranon surface, is attached the tendon of triceps brachii; which may be separated by a smooth bursal area from the elbow joint capsule(1). Tendons are usually attached at roughened bone surfaces; and wherever any aggregation of collagen in ...
