Figure – Lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, occurs most frequently in the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon. The high incidence of lateral epicondylitis in patients with cervical radiculopathy suggests a correlation between C6 and C7 radiculopathy and the onset of lateral epicondylitis. Background A diagnosis of lateral epicondylitis, described as a condition causing pain in the latera...

An 18-hour-old neonate was found to have absent movement of the left arm and a mildly edematous elbow following precipitous delivery with observed traction applied to the left arm. Radiographs (Figure 1) showed abnormal elbow alignment without osseous fracture and a moderate joint effusion. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [Figure 2] revealed a transverse fracture through the distal left humera...

This study compared resistance-trained and untrained men for changes in commonly used indirect markers of muscle damage after maximal voluntary eccentric exercise of the elbow flexors. Fifteen trained men (28.2 +/- 1.9 years, 175.0 +/- 1.6 cm, and 77.6 +/- 1.9 kg) who had resistance trained for at least 3 sessions per week incorporating exercises involving the elbow flexor musculature for an av...

Abstract The mediolateral flexed, extended, or neutral elbow radiographic views are commonly used in clinical practice. However, there is currently no standardized methodology to accurately measure the joint angle images that include only and surrounding tissues. main aim of this work compare angles obtained from radiographs complete arm forearm dog, with measured including elbow. Ninety joints...

Background: The elbow is a synovial hinge joint, with high chance of stiffness. A stiff an loss extension >30° and flexion <120 which can result due to post-traumatic events around elbow. Surgical intervention required if conservative treatment fails. arthrolysis the by posterior approach has been reported less widely. Aims Objectives: This study aims at reporting arc motion after TRAP ap...

Elbow injuries are a very common part of athletic injuries. In fact, there are many sports that have colloquial names for the commonly associated injuries that happened in those particular sports. Most people have heard of tennis elbow which refers to pain along the lateral aspect of the elbow with a backhand maneuver. The lateral side of the elbow is the point farthest away from the body with ...

Complex elbow trauma, severe burn, or a closed head injury render patients at risk for developing heterotopic ossification around the elbow. When heterotopic ossification restricts elbow motion, some patients request surgical resection. We performed a systematic review of the literature to analyze improvement in elbow motion after resection of heterotopic ossification around the elbow. We found...

The objective of this study was to make an overview that can be useful in determining which type and brand of prosthesis a patient has when visiting the emergency department or outpatient clinic with a periprosthetic fracture, dislocation, or implant failure. The commonly used prostheses in Europe are opted for this list. The radiographs used for this list are obtained either from the company o...

This study was conducted to explore epidemiologic features of traumatic elbow dislocation with associated fractures in pediatric population following appropriate treatment options.Incidence of elbow dislocation with associated fractures was analyzed in 67 children using elbow radiographs. Treatment for the displaced elbow joint was performed by closed reduction and proper immobilization. Surgic...
