Head of the Radius

1. humerus
2. capitulum
3. head of the radius
4. anular ligament
5. neck of the radius
6. ulna

Subluxation and dislocation of the head of the radius, also
known as nursemaid’s elbow or pulled elbow, is common
in children who are suddenly lifted by the upper limb.

5. styloid process of the radius
6. radial artery

Fracture–separation of the distal radial
epiphysis is common in children because
of frequent falls.

Skier’s thumb refers to the chronic laxity
of the collateral ligament of the 1st
metacarpophalangeal joint, resulting in
hyperabduction. Bull rider’s thumb is a
sprain of the radial collateral ligament
and fracture of the proximal phalanx of
the thumb.

Extensor Digitorum
• proximal attachment: lateral epicondyle of humerus
• distal attachment: extensor expansions of medial four digits
• innervation: posterior interosseous nerve (radial nerve)
• main action: extends medial four digits and wrist
Extensor Carpi Ulnaris
• proximal attachment: lateral epicondyle of humerus
• distal attachment: 5th metacarpal
• innervation: posterior interosseous nerve (radial nerve)
• main action: extends and adducts wrist

3. zygomatic bone
4. maxilla
5. infraorbital foramen
6. intermaxillary suture

A blow to the superciliary arch may cause a laceration and a
black eye.

Malar flush refers to the redness of the skin over the zygomatic
prominence. It is associated with fever.

The three common maxillary fractures as described by Le Fort
are numbered I, II, and III.

6. mandible – angle

Fractures of the mandible usually occur in pairs, frequently on
opposite sides. A, fracture of the coronoid process; B, fracture
of the neck; C, fracture of the angle; D, fracture of the body.
Extraction of teeth causes resorption of alveolar bone. The
mandible shrinks, occasionally leaving the mental foramen
open and the nerves exposed to pain from dentures.
