| Anotation | From anatomical, topographical, and clinical perspectives, the forearm is one of the most complex regions of the human body. The two bones of the forearm, connected by an interosseous membrane, form a complex functional unit with the elbow and wrist joints. This unit plays a key role in movement and is supplemented by three multilayered groups of muscles and soft tissues that stabilize the joints. Imbalances caused by developmental, degenerative, or traumatic factors can lead to serious mobility disorders affecting strength and range of motion. This project focuses on stability disorders caused by trauma, particularly fractures. Often, unrecognized complex injuries related to disruption of the interosseous membrane lead to prolonged treatment, poorer outcomes, and delayed return to daily activities and workloads. These issues have significant socioeconomic consequences. The project's objectives are divided into two areas: anatomical and clinical. The anatomical part will provide a detailed description of the soft tissue structures of the forearm, focusing on the interosseal membrane and those at risk of injury due to direct trauma or indirect trauma from dislocated fragments or surgical access. The clinical part will evaluate a group of patients with selected forearm fractures, especially complex fractures such as Essex-Lopresti lesions. It will also monitor epidemiological patient data, the fracture line's course, and the indicated surgical approach. The final part will include a comparison and statistical evaluation of the results to help identify risk structures for their specific monitoring from the diagnostic process through therapeutic treatment and targeted rehabilitation. The results can also be useful for a follow-up biomechanical study. |
