THE TWO BONE MYTH BUSTED! The upper and lower limbs comprise two prominent bones: the arms’ radius and ulna and the legs’ tibia and fibula. This anatomical structure supports bipedal movement and enhances dexterity. It also provides a protective mechanism against severe bleeding due to the presence of deep blood vessels. A notable study by Kragh et al. in 2008, published in the Journal of Trauma, found that the application of tourniquets is generally more effective on distal limbs. Specifically, the study reported an effectiveness rate of 92% for tourniquet applications on the forearm, compared to 81% for applications on the upper arm. In the lower leg, the effectiveness reached 100%, while applications on the thigh were practical only 73% of the time. The study suggested that the circumference of the limb plays a more significant role in the effectiveness of tourniquet application than the presence of two bones.
