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  
🗑
