Titin is a giant protein responsible for muscle elasticity and provides a scaffold for several sarcomeric proteins, including the novel titin-binding protein MURF-1, which binds near the titin M-line region.
ORIF Surgery for Proximal Humerus Fracture. This surgical procedure repairs a break in the proximal end of the humerus. ORIF stands for Open Reduction Internal Fixation. During this procedure, an incision will be made and a metal plate will be attached to the humerus to hold the bone in place while it heals. Preparation.
A humerus fracture is a break in the upper arm bone. This may be anywhere in the bone, from the neck of the humerus near the shoulder, to the distal end at the elbow. A form of fracture close to the elbow is known as a supracondylar fracture. A tricep strain is a tear to the triceps brachii muscle at the back of the upper arm which contracts to straighten the elbow.
