The humerus and femur of " Acanthostega " contain evidence of greater development of the appendicular muscles compared to more aquatic tetrapods . " Acanthostega " has a total lack of dermal fin rays and displays the presence of two or more spool-shaped bones or cartilages articulating individually in antero-posterial sets on the distal end of its limbs.

The specimens of " Dystrophaeus viamelae " are highly fragmentary, with only a few bones available for study including an ulna, partial scapula, partial dorsal vertebrae, a distal radius, and some metacarpals . " Dyslocosaurus polyonychius " also has extremely limited fossil evidence that only includes appendicular elements, and the position of it in Tschopp's phylogeny is therefore considered " prelimintary ."

Ganglion cysts are " commonly observed in association with the joints and tendons of the appendicular skeleton, with 88 %'in communication with the multiple small joints of the hand and wrist'and 11 % with those of the foot and ankle . " Most often, they are found near the wrist joint, especially at the scapho-lunate area, which accounts for 80 % of all ganglion cysts.

Parts of the appendicular skeleton ( limbs, hips, and shoulder bones ) are preserved in " Echinerpeton " specimens, including the interclavicle, scapula ( shoulder blade ), the lower portion of the humerus ( upper arm bone ), the illium ( a hip bone ), the upper portion of the femur ( upper leg bone ), the tibia and fibula ( lower leg bones ), astragalus and calcaneum ( ankle bones ), and metatarsals ( foot bones ).

Leading radiology specialists from the Philippines and abroad will present lectures in the following areas : difficult to diagnose fractures of the appendicular skeleton; fractures of the facial bones; gastrointestinal tract emergencies with an imaging protocol of the acute abdomen; hepatobilary emergencies; traumatic and non-traumatic cardiovascular emergencies; radiologic evaluation of chest emergencies; interventional procedures in chest emergencies; pediatric chest emergencies; pediatric abdominal emergencies; emergency radiology of the spine; CT Scan and MRI of head trauma; CT Scan and MRI of cerebrovascular accidents; emergency interventional radiology of the head and neck; monographic evaluation of first trimester pain and bleeding; imaging in the evaluation of non-gravid pelvic pain; and case discussions.
