| 신체 부위 | Upper Arm | Thigh |
| 기능 | The bone of the upper arm connecting the shoulder to the elbow. Provides attachment points for muscles of the shoulder and arm, enabling a wide range of upper limb movements. | The largest sesamoid bone in the body, embedded within the quadriceps tendon. Increases the mechanical advantage of the quadriceps muscle by increasing the lever arm for knee extension. |
| 임상적 의의 | Surgical neck fractures are common in elderly patients. Midshaft fractures may damage the radial nerve causing wrist drop. Supracondylar fractures are the most common elbow fractures in children. | Patellar fractures result from direct trauma or forceful quadriceps contraction. Patellar dislocation typically occurs laterally. Chondromalacia patellae (runner's knee) causes anterior knee pain from cartilage degeneration. |
