The fascia of the pectoral region is attached to the clavicle and sternum.

The pectoral fascia invests the pectoralis major and is continuous inferiorly with the fascia of the anterior abdominal wall

The pectoral fascia leaves the lateral border of the pectoralis major and becomes the axillary fascia which forms the floor of the axilla.

Deep to the pectoral fascia and the pectoralis major, another fascial layer, the clavipectoral fascia, descends from the clavicle, enclosing the subclavius and then the pectoralis minor, becoming continuous inferiorly with the axillary fascia.

The part of the clavipectoral fascia between the pectoralis minor and the subclavius, the costocoracoid membrane, is pierced by the lateral pectoral nerve, which primarily supplies the pectoralis major.

The deltoid fascia descends over the superficial surface of the deltoid from the clavicle, acromion, and scapular spine.

The brachial fascia, a sheath of deep fascia, encloses the arm like a snug sleeve deep to the skin and subcutaneous tissue 

The brachial fascia is attached inferiorly to the epicondyles of the humerus and the olecranon of the ulna and is continuous with the antebrachial fascia, the deep fascia of the forearm

Fracture of the distal end of the radius is a common fracture in adults > 50 years of age and occurs more frequently in women because their bones are more commonly weakened by osteoporosis

The distal fragment is displaced dorsally and is often comminuted (broken into pieces).

the fracture results from forced dorsiflexion of the hand, usually as the result of trying to ease a fall by outstretching the upper limb.

Often the ulnar styloid process is avulsed (broken off). 

Normally the radial styloid process projects farther distally than the ulnar styloid[image]
