Overview

Limbs anatomy is the study of the structure and organization of the upper and lower limbs, including their bones, joints, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels, and how these components work together to support movement, posture, and the body's interaction with its environment. The limbs are integral parts of the musculoskeletal system, and detailed knowledge of their anatomy is essential for diagnosing and treating injuries, planning surgical procedures, and guiding rehabilitation and physical therapy. Anatomical study addresses the arrangement of skeletal elements, the attachments and actions of muscles, the pathways of peripheral nerves and their innervation territories, and the vascular supply that sustains limb tissues. Variations in these structures are clinically important, since the precise course of nerves and vessels can affect surgical access, the interpretation of imaging, and the understanding of compression and entrapment conditions. Within human anatomy, research on the limbs often focuses on the fine morphology of nerves and neurovascular structures in regions such as the foot and ankle. Research in this journal has examined the morphology of the posterior tibial nerve in the tarsal tunnel and the branching pattern of the medial calcaneal neurovascular bundle in the foot. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to limbs anatomy and human anatomy.
