Term
Definition
humeroulnar   flex & ext. ulna connects w/troclea  
🗑
humeroradial   pronation & supination. radial head spins on capitulum. radius surface is concave also  
🗑
radioulnar   pronation & supination  
🗑
what moves during pronation and supination?   radius/ ulna does NOT move  
🗑
carrying angle   bc medial surface ext farther distally, in ext the elbow is in valgus position of 10-15 degrees  
🗑
ligaments of elbow   medial (ulnar) collateral, lateral (radial) collateral, annular (holds radial head to ulna @ radial notch)  
🗑
elbow end feel in ext   bony  
🗑
elbow end feel in flex   soft tissue  
🗑
elbow end feel in pronation & supination   ligamentous  
🗑
brachialis OIAN   O:distal 1/2 of humerus, ant surface. I:coronoid process & ulnar tuberosity of ulna. A:elbow flex. N:musculocutaneous  
🗑
biceps OIAN   O:long head:supraglenoid tubercle of scap. short head:coracoid process of scap. I:radial tuberosity of radius A:elbow flex, forearm sup N:musculocutaneous  
🗑
brachioradialis OIAN   o:lat supracondylar ridge on the humerus. I:styloid process of the radius A:elbow flex N:radial  
🗑
triceps OIAN   O:long head:infraglenoid tubercle of scap. lat head:inferior to greater tubercle on post humerus. Medial head:post surface of humerus. I:olcranon process of ulna. A:elbow ext N:radial  
🗑
supinator OIAN   O:lat epicondyle of humerus & adjacent ulna. I:ant surface of the proximal radius. A:forearm supination N:radial  
🗑
pronator teres OIAN   O:medial epicondyle of humerus & coranoid process of ulna. I:lat aspect of radius @ its midpoint A:forearm pronation, assist in elbow flex N:median  
🗑
pronator quad OIAN   o:distal 1/4 of ulna. I: distal 1/4 of radius. A:forearm pronation. N:median  
🗑
most common elbow fx   fx of head of radius-often head will dislocate and needs ORIF  
🗑
elbow fx rx   pt in splint for 3-5 days which is removed for PROM, AROM, isometrics. over next 2-6 wks progress to strengthening & stretching w/goal to return to activity in 6 wks  
🗑
another common elbow fx   supracondylar  
🗑
severe complication to supracondylar fx   Volkmans Ischemic contracture  
🗑
Volkmans Ischemic contracture cause   obstruction to the brachial artery & venous return due to bone displacement or vascular damage. if not restored will get mm fibrosis. wrist flexors contracted  
🗑
early signs of Volkmans Ischemic contracture   cyanosis, loss of radial pulse, sensory loss, severe forearm pn esp w/mvmnt  
🗑
Volkmans Ischemic contracture rx   elevation, ROM & splinting, stretching when appropriate. paralysis is permanent but if caught early can be managed medically  
🗑
overuse syndromes:repetitive trauma syndromes   lat elbow tendonopathy (tennis elbow), medial elbow tendinopathy (golfer's elbow)  
🗑
lateral epicondylitis   microtrauma of wrist ext mechanism esp extensor carpi radialis brevis. brevis is most commonly injured bc when elbow is ext & wrist is flexed, brevis rolls over radial head. chronic inflammation develops  
🗑
lateral epicondylitis S&S   local tenderness, pn, edema over common extensor area that increases w/activity or stretching. may be referred pn into arm. can be work related (typing, power tools) or recreational (back hand, piano)  
🗑
lateral epicondylitis acute rx   RICE, gentle PROM/AROM in painfree range, modalities such as Estim, US or massage, ionto, phono, immobilization in brace, cock up splint  
🗑
lateral epicondylitis subacute rx   AROM. cont to rest is real key  
🗑
lateral epicondylitis chronic rx   teach pt self stretch, isometrics & progress to strengthening using theraband or wt to both agonist & antagonist & pronators & supinators. asses mechanism of injury & look for correction or prophylaxis. gradual return to activity  
🗑
medial epicondylitis   also overuse of wrist flex (FCR, FCU, FCS) cause by improper golfing technique, gripping tools  
🗑
medial epicondylitis acute rx   RICE, gentle PROM/AROM in painfree range, modalities such as Estim, US or massage, ionto, phono, immobilization in brace, cock up splint  
🗑
medial epicondylitis subacute rx   AROM. cont to rest is real key  
🗑
medial epicondylitis chronic rx   teach pt self stretch, isometrics & progress to strengthening using theraband or wt to both agonist & antagonist & pronators & supinators. asses mechanism of injury & look for correction or prophylaxis. gradual return to activity  
🗑
PNI ulnar   sensory loss of ulnar hand, little finger, ulnar 1/2 of ring finger-wkness of ulnar 1/2 FDP & FCU, hypothenar mm, interossei, 3,4 lumbricals, FPB, add pl  
🗑
PNI radial   wk wrist & finger ext, supinator- sensation loss dorsum of hand & radial side of 3rd metacarpal, dorsum of thumb & 1st 2 fingers  
🗑
periperal neuropathy median   wkness of pronator teres, wrist flexors, extrinsic finger flexors, thenar & lumbricales 1-2- sensory loss is radial palm & palm side of thumb, index & middle finger  
🗑
olecranon bursitis   caused by pressure (leaning on elbows) sometimes aspiration needed  
🗑
total elbow   not common. indicated by severe arthritis, gross instability. result is not full range or strength. maybe 90 degrees  
🗑
