Fracture in the proximal half of the shaft of the ulna, with dislocation of the head of the radius.
Applies to movements of the forearm in turning the palm forward or upward. When referring to the foot, a combination of adduction and inversion movements of the foot.
The joint that is formed by the distal end of the RADIUS, the articular disc of the distal radioulnar joint, and the proximal row of CARPAL BONES; (SCAPHOID BONE; LUNATE BONE; triquetral bone).
Injuries to the wrist or the wrist joint.
The shaft of long bones.
Systematic physical exercise. This includes calisthenics, a system of light gymnastics for promoting strength and grace of carriage.
A hinge joint connecting the FOREARM to the ARM.
A pathologic entity characterized by deossification of a weight-bearing long bone, followed by bending and pathologic fracture, with inability to form normal BONY CALLUS leading to existence of the "false joint" that gives the condition its name. (Dorland, 27th ed)
Bone in humans and primates extending from the SHOULDER JOINT to the ELBOW JOINT.
Injuries to the part of the upper limb of the body between the wrist and elbow.
