What is distal clavicle excision?
Distal clavicle excision is a surgical procedure that involves removing a small part of the outer end of the collarbone (clavicle) to treat conditions like acromioclavicular joint arthritis or impingement. This procedure aims to alleviate pain and improve shoulder function by eliminating the source of irritation in that area.
Is the shoulder proximal to the clavicle?
Your scapulae are not proximal to the midline of the body. They are lateral to the midline which is marked by the spine. Proximal and distal are used to indicate the position along an arm or leg. If some thing is close to the attachment to the body, that is proximal.
The conoid tubercle and coastal tuberosity are markings found on the?
clavicle (collarbone). The conoid tubercle is a small bump on the inferior surface of the clavicle where the conoid ligament attaches. The costal tuberosity is a roughened area on the medial aspect of the clavicle where the costoclavicular ligament attaches.
Is the patient's right wrist superficial to his right elbow?
No, the wrist is distal to the elbow and the elbow is proximal to the wrist.
What is the most superior medial aspect of the scapula called?
The acromion process is the most superior medial aspect of the scapula. It articulates with the clavicle.
What is severe distal clavicle osteolysis?
Osteolysis means destruction of the bone. The distal clavicle is the part of the collarbone farthest from the breastbone.
Is clavicle distal to umbilicus?
The clavicle is not distal or proximal to the umbilicus. It is superior and lateral.
Can a car accident cause distal clavicle?
The distal clavicle is the part of the collarbone farthest from the center of the body. It's a normal part of the anatomy.
What articulates with the distal clavicle to provide attachment of muscles?
The acromion process of the scapula articulates with the distal clavicle. This joint is called the acromioclavicular joint.
What is the icd-9 diagnosis code for a distal clavicle fracture?
810.03
What is a distal calviculectomy?
A distal clavicle resection, also known as a distal claviculectomy, is a surgical procedure where a portion of the collarbone (clavicle) is removed to treat conditions such as arthritis or impingement in the shoulder joint. This procedure can help relieve pain and improve range of motion in the shoulder.
What bone articulates with the distal clavicle and provides attachments for muscles of the arms and chest?
The acromion process of the scapula articulates with the distal end of the clavicle at the acromioclavicular joint. The clavicle provides attachment points for muscles of the arms and chest, such as the deltoid and pectoralis major muscles.
What is distal clavicle excision?
Distal clavicle excision is a surgical procedure that involves removing a small part of the outer end of the collarbone (clavicle) to treat conditions like acromioclavicular joint arthritis or impingement. This procedure aims to alleviate pain and improve shoulder function by eliminating the source of irritation in that area.
What is extra-osseous bone formation associated with the anterior aspect of the distal clavicle?
There's a bony piece at the front part of the collarbone farthest from the breastbone. Talk with your health care provider about the significance of this finding in your particular case.
Is the shoulder proximal to the clavicle?
Your scapulae are not proximal to the midline of the body. They are lateral to the midline which is marked by the spine. Proximal and distal are used to indicate the position along an arm or leg. If some thing is close to the attachment to the body, that is proximal.
Clavicle bone articulates with?
the medial end articulates with the sternum and the distal end articulates with the humerus and scapula.
What is located on the distal aspect of the humerus?
The medial and lateral epicondyles are located on the distal apsect of the humerus. The distal humerus articulates with the radius and ulna.
