Elbow Review

Anatomy

100

The three bones that make up the elbow joint

Humerus, Ulna, Radius

200

The most pronounced aspect of the ulna

Olecranon Process

300

The medial aspect of the distal humerus 

Medial Epicondyle

400

If you palpate the lateral forearm proximal elbow and pronate and supinate you will be palpating this structure

Radial Head

500

The flexor muscle group (4)

FCU, Palmaris Longus, FCR, Pronator Teres

Anatomy 2

100

This elbow ligament is divisible into three unique sections?

UCL

200

What is it medically called when the alignment of the forearm and humerus fully extends beyond 0°?

Cubital Recurvatum

300

The lateral collateral ligament assists this ligament in preventing the radial head from separating from the ulna?

Annular Ligament

400

The lateral humeral articulating surface on the distal border of the lateral epicondyle?

Capitellum 

500

What is the rounded smooth structure that fits into the notch of the ulna

Trochlea

Pathologies

100

Forearm fractures in children are often treated with this

Closed Reduction & Cast

200

The Mechanism of injury for a dislocated elbow is most commonly

FOOSH

300

Also known as little leagurs elbow

Medial epicondylitis, or apophysitis in some cases

400

Most commonly presents with a burning sensation, or numbers and tingling. Can also cause muscle weakness

Nerve Pathology

500

Direct trauma to the olecronon causes immediate and localized swelling known as

Olecranon Bursitis

Special tests

100

This test cfan be performed but is not usually necessary because of obvious deformity

Hook Test

200

A valgus stress performed on the elbow is assessing the integrity of this ligament?

UCL 

300

This pathology is commonly tested with resisting elbow extension, supination, and wrist extension

Lateral Epicondylagia

400

These 2 test can be performed to diagnose nerve pathologies

Fromen's , and tinel sign

500

This special test is for UCL that is best used for MLB players due to increased valgus that is already present

Milking Manuever

Extras

100

This nerve travels through the cubital tunnel

Ulnar Nerve

200

They have increased carrying angle

Women

300

What are the components of the terrible triad of the elbow

Posterior Dislocation, Radial Head Fx, Coronoid Fx

400

Your athlete sustained a complete UCL tear, the doctor suggested this surgery

Tommy Johns, a tightrope procedure

500

This event is commonly a secondary injury to the elbow due to decreased blood supply and can sometimes be a indicator of compartment syndrome

Volkmans Ischemic Contracture
