Elbow Intro
Elbow Introduction PPT
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What 3 joints make up the elbow? | Ulnohumeral Radiohumeral Proximal Radioulnar |
| Which of the elbow joints are included in the elbow capsule? | All of them |
| What are the primary motions of each elbow joint? | Ulnohumeral: primary hinge (flex/ext) Radiohumeral & Proximal Radioulnar: rotation/pivoting motions |
| The Elbow Capsule | Follows perimeter of elbow, distally blends with annular lig; Ant. portion taut with extension; Post. portion taut with flexion; Reinforced by lateral & medial collateral ligs |
| What is the Medial (Ulnar) Collateral Ligament made up of? | Anterior Bundle Posterior Bundle Transverse Ligament |
| Anterior Band of UCL | Inserts into anteromedial portion of coronoid of ulna Controls valgus forces |
| Posterior Band of UCL | Originates posterior & inferior to axis of rotation & inserts into medial semilunar notch of proximal ulna; Becomes taut from 60-90 deg flexion |
| Transverse Band of UCL | Doesn't cross elbow joint Doesn't contribute to joint stability |
| Lateral Ligament Structures | Lateral UCL Radial collateral ligament- radial head to humerus Annular Ligament- encircles radial head |
| Lateral UCL | Spans radiocapitellar joint Superficial to annular ligament Resists varus stress |
| Radial Collateral Ligament | Originates from lateral epicondyle, inserts into annular ligament Origin close to axis Remains taut throughout ROM |
| Annular Ligament | Fibro-osseous ring that stabilizes the radial head; Originates & inserts on ant/post margins of lesser sigmoid notch |
| Anterior Elbow Pain causes | Biceps tendonitis Biceps rupture at the elbow (lose supination strength, some flexion, more problematic if torn at distal insertion) Bicipital bursitis Ant. capsule Pronster Syndrome- median n. |
| Posterior Elbow Pain causes | Olecranon impingement More a person throws, elbow becomes loose & forms osteophytes, so when throwing with increased valgus, rubs more on posterior medial elbow |
| Medial Elbow Pain causes | Epicondylitis If jts are loose, ulnar n may sublux Ulnar n s/sx can come from swelling, which causes chemical irritation- medial epicondylitis for example |
| Lateral Elbow Pain causes | Lateral Epicondylitis Post. interosseous n. compression syndrome (radial n.) Radial head fx Radiocapitellar chrondromalacia Osteochondritis dissecans of capitellum |
