| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Ulnar Collateral Ligament Sprain (MCL) results from | traumatic valgus force – fall on outstretched arm or overhead throwing |
| UCL MCL sprain typically involves the ___ | anterior band of the UCL |
| s/s of ucl sprain | sudden pain ‘pop’ Tenderness over the UCL Swelling Decreased ROM Positive valgus stress test |
| __ strains are very uncommon | third degree |
| Bursitis typically involves ___ | olecrannon bursa (can be acute or chronic) |
| s/s bursitis | large and localized effusion -limited ROM -usually not very painful |
| defined as a degenerative process verses tendonitis which is simply inflammation within a tendon | Epicondylitis |
| Medial Epicondylitis | involves wrist flexor mass- most commonly seen in baseball and golf (golfer’s elbow)-less frequent than lateral epicondylitis |
| s/s of medial epicondylits | tenderness over medial epicondyle, swelling, soreness with ROMs from wrist flexorsneed to look at mechanics of athlete's activities |
| lateral epicondylits (tennis elbow) involves | wrist extensor muscles at origin off lateral epicondyle - extensor carpi radialis brevis most commonly |
| s/sof lateral epicondylits | swelling and discoloration are rare -pain all the time eve at rest -pain with gripping and wrist extension activities |
| Elbow Fractures- more common in children-have to always be concerned with ___ | associated neurovascular compromise |
| fracture s/s | -pain -possible deformity -point tenderness -loss of function |
| humeroulnar dislocation | posterior dislocation of the ulna and radius on the humerus are most common in athletics |
| MOI of elbow dislocation | hyperextension force during axial load |
| s/s of dislocation | immediate pain deformity and unwilling to move extremity |
| - S&S of associated neurovascular compromise: | o Excessive swelling down forearm and hando Diminished or absent distal pulseo Pale or cyanotic skin colorationo parasthesia |
| Epiphyseal (Apophyseal) Injuries aka | little league elbow, apophysitis |
| Epiphyseal (Apophyseal) Injuries | valgus traction forces stress apophyseal plate versus tendon/ligament of medial elbow |
| Epiphyseal (Apophyseal) Injuries may lead to | flexion contracture |
| Epiphyseal (Apophyseal) Injuries s/s | prolonged history of pain -point tenderness -swelling -pain with valgusRefer |
