  2. Elbow extension test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbow_extension_test

    The elbow extension test is simple test that can be administered as part of the physical exam to help guide healthcare providers diagnosis and management of acute elbow fractures. The elbow extension test is performed when an elbow fracture, most commonly caused by trauma , is suspected as the source of pain and dysfunction.

  3. Ulnar collateral ligament injury of the elbow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulnar_collateral_ligament...

    The acute rupture occurs in collisions when the elbow is in flexion such as that in a wrestling match or a tackle in football. The ulnar collateral ligament distributes over fifty percent of the medial support of the elbow. [16] [17] This can result in an UCL injury or a dislocated elbow causing severe damage to the elbow and the radioulnar joints.

  4. Radial collateral ligament of elbow joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_collateral_ligament...

    The composition of the triangular ligamentous structure on the lateral side of the elbow varies widely between individuals [1] and can be considered either a single ligament, [2] in which case multiple distal attachments are generally mentioned and the annular ligament is described separately, or as several separate ligaments, [1] in which case parts of those ligaments are often described as ...

  5. Radial head fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_head_fracture

    Radial head fractures are a common type of elbow fracture that typically occurs after a fall on an outstretched arm. [1] They account for approximately one third of all elbow fractures and are frequently associated with other injuries of the elbow. [2] [3] Radial head fractures are diagnosed by a clinical assessment and medical imaging.

  6. Ulnar neuropathy at the elbow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulnar_neuropathy_at_the_elbow

    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 ...

  7. Fat pad sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_pad_sign

    The posterior fat pad is normally pressed in the olecranon fossa by the triceps tendon, and hence invisible on lateral radiograph of the elbow. [3] When there is a fracture of the distal humerus, or other pathology involving the elbow joint, inflammation develops around the synovial membrane forcing the fat pad out of its normal physiologic resting place.

  8. Volkmann's contracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkmann's_contracture

    Any fracture in the elbow region or upper arm may lead to Volkmann's ischemic contracture, but it is especially associated with supracondylar fracture of the humerus. It is also caused by fractures of the forearm bones if they cause bleeding from the major blood vessels of the forearm. [citation needed]

  9. Radial neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_neuropathy

    Elbow - entrapment of the nerve; Wrist - elbow deformity and soft-tissue masses; Axilla - here the most common cause is compression. However, a dislocation of the humerus is a possible factor as well. It could also be due to brachial plexus compression.
