Anatomy
This nerve travels through the cubital tunnel and innervates the 4th and 5th fingers
These are the three articulations of the elbow joint
What are the humeroulnar, humeroradial, and radioulnar?
The elbow joint performs these 2 movements
What are flexion and extension?
This is the result of repetitive throwing by immature athletes resulting in injury to the epiphysis of the medial epicondyle
What is little league elbow?
This injury typically occurs as a result of FOOSH and causes pain with pronation and supination
What is a radial head fracture?
This bone is on the medial aspect of the forearm
The ulnar collateral ligament is on this aspect of the elbow
The radioulnar joint performs these two movements
What are pronation and supination?
We learned a tape application to prevent or treat this type of injury in class
What is Elbow Hyperextension?
A direct blow to this area may cause pain and numbness down into the ring and pinky fingers
What is an ulnar nerve contusion?
This bone is on the lateral aspect of the forearm
What is the radius?
What is the brachial artery?
The common tendon on the medial aspect of the elbow is called this
What is the common flexor tendon?
This is an overuse injury to the lateral side of the elbow or forearm extensor tendon, also known as epicondylitis.
What is tennis elbow?
Inflammation of the bursa sac caused by a direct blow is know as this
What is olecranon bursitis?
What is the brachial artery?
These two muscles perform elbow extension
What are the triceps and anconeus muscles?

What is the common extensor tendon?

What is golfers elbow?
This acute injury is an overstretching or tearing of the medial collateral ligament of the elbow
What is a UCL tear?
These are the 3 bones that make-up the elbow joint
Humerus, Radius, and Ulna
This empty sac is located on the posterior aspect of the elbow and can become filled by fluid due to a forceful direct blow
What is the olecranon bursa?
These three muscles all perform elbow flexion
What are the biceps brachii, brachioradialis, and brachialis?
This injury is more typical in middle aged men due to a forceful eccentric contraction often resulting in surgical repair of the tendon
What is a biceps tendon rupture?
This injury is commonly caused by falling on an outstretched hand and requires immediate treatment and immobilization. It may also result in injury to soft tissue structures.
What is an elbow dislocation?
