Metastatic Disease of the Upper Limb

Description

The presentation is delivered by Tom Cosker, an orthopedic oncology surgeon and head of anatomy at a hospital in Oxford. The talk emphasizes the complexities of upper limb anatomy, particularly focusing on the brachial plexus, which is crucial for surgical procedures. Cosker offers tips to candidates preparing for exams, highlighting the importance of being able to accurately draw and identify both the right and left brachial plexus. He transitions into discussing the anatomical structures of the shoulder, referencing various ligaments and the rotator cuff's significance during surgeries. As he explores different cases, the importance of preserving nerve functions and the challenges posed by aggressive tumors or metastatic disease in the upper limb are underscored.
