What is a bigger tubercle?
Larger tubercle is an anatomical process on the humerus, a long bone of the body located at the top of the arm. This structure serves as a point of insertion for several muscles into the arm and chest. Sometimes it participates in fractures, most often in dislocations and injury to the rotator cuff. The injury of a larger tuberculus is usually treated by an orthopedic physician, a medical specialist who focuses on the care of skeleton. The Humerus head is inserted into the shoulder socket, while a larger tuberculum protrudes to the outside of the shoulder. The structure has a flattened look with points for teres smaller, infraspinatus and supraspinatus muscles to attach. The surface of the structure is restrained. The corresponding structure known as less tuberculosis forms a comb on the inside of the humerus.
The larger tubercle is most often a rotator cuff is built when the arm is injured, where the arm is dislocated or on the rotator cuff. A sharp blow to the shoulder can also intervene this anatomical monument, leading to a fracture. Fractures of this process is difficult to treatIT. They usually require surgery because it is difficult to reduce a closed fracture and can be difficult to repair a fracture in place to recover the bones.
In surgery, the surgeon will usually use screws or pins to repair greater tuberculosis on site. Casting can be used to immobilize the arm, or can be placed in the strap, depending on other associated injuries, because the larger tubercle is rarely broken separately. X -rays can be used to monitor during treatment and to determine whether further treatment is needed. The greatest risk of fractures of this bone is necrosis, the death of bones caused by insufficient blood supply.
People experience fractures of the shoulders, they usually notice them because the arm is often extremely painful, the range of movement in the arm may be limited and the arm may occur visibly outside the position. It is important to get rapid fracture treatment to prevent comp fromLicans such as necrosis. Sometimes fractures are less obvious and the patient may think that the persistent shoulder pain is caused by a strained muscle rather than a broken bone. If the shoulder pain persists despite the treatment of pain at home, it is advisable to see a doctor for evaluation.
