Elbow pain is a common complaint in both the emergency department and in primary care offices. The CDC estimated that 1.15 million people visited an emergency room for elbow or forearm-related injuries in 2020. [1] There are many possible causes of elbow discomfort but the most common are trauma, infection, and inflammation.
Tendinopathy is a type of tendon disorder that results in pain, swelling, and impaired function. [2] The pain is typically worse with movement. [2] It most commonly occurs around the shoulder (rotator cuff tendinitis, biceps tendinitis), elbow (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow), wrist, hip, knee (jumper's knee, popliteus tendinopathy), or ankle (Achilles tendinitis).
Ulnar neuropathy at the cubital tunnel is diagnosed based on characteristic symptoms and signs. Intermittent or static numbness in the small finger and ulnar half of the ring finger, weakness or atrophy of the first dorsal interosseous, positive Tinel sign over the ulnar nerve proximal to the cubital tunnel, and positive elbow flexion test (elicitation of paresthesia in the small and ring ...
The injury is often associated with an experience of a sharp “pop” in the elbow, followed by pain during a single throw. [2] In addition, swelling and bruising of the elbow, loss of elbow range of motion, and a sudden decrease in throwing velocity are all common symptoms of a UCL injury. If the injury is less severe, pain can alleviate with ...
Traditionally, people have speculated that tennis elbow is a type of repetitive strain injury resulting from tendon overuse and failed healing of the tendon, but there is no evidence of injury or repair, and misinterpretation of painful activities as a source of damage is common. [25] Example of repetitive movement that may cause tennis elbow
It is caused by overuse and repetitive motions like a golf swing. It can also be caused by trauma. Wrist flexion and pronation (rotating of the forearm) causes irritation to the tendons near the medial epicondyle of the elbow. [36] It can cause pain, stiffness, loss of sensation, and weakness radiating from the inside of the elbow to the fingers.

Compression at the different levels of the median nerve produce variable symptoms and/or syndromes. [citation needed] The areas are: Underneath Struthers' ligament; Passing by the bicipital aponeurosis (also known as lacertus fibrosus) Between the two heads of the pronator teres; Compression in the carpal tunnel causes carpal tunnel syndrome [4]
