Surface Anatomy of the Elbow Joint When arms are at your sides, palms facing forward, you hands and forearms should be about 5-15 degrees away from your body. This angle allows your forearms to clear you hips when swinging your arms while walking. Also very important when carrying various objects. The angle is more pronounced in women than men. Carrying angle Linda

Surface Anatomy of the Elbow Joint Carrying Angle: Male vs Female Linda

Bones of the Elbow Joint Include Humerus- Largest bone in the upper extremity. Articulates with the radius and ulna. Ulna- The stabilizing bone of the forearm. The medial and longer bone of the two forearms. (Pinky side) Radius- The lateral and shorter of the two forearm bones. (Thumb side) Linda

Ulna Olecranon Process- Big bony projection on proximal end. Coronoid Process-Prominant elevation on anterior surface. Trochlear Notch- Articulates with the trochlea of the humerus. Ulnar Tuberosity- Inferior to the coronoid process. Radial Notch- Smooth, rounded curve that articulates with the head of the radius. Linda Ulnar Tuberosity Olecranon Process Radial Notch Coronoid Process Trochlear Notch Anterior Right Posterior Right

Humerus Capitulum- Articulates with the head of the radius. Olecranon Fossa- Big depression on the posterior side of the humerus. Medial Epicondyle- More prominent than the lateral epicondyle. Trochlea- Articulates with the trochlear notch of the ulna. Coronoid Fossa- Superior to the trochlea, the smaller depression in the anterior side of the humerus. Lateral Epicondyle- Smaller than the medial epicondyle. Linda Coronoid Fossa Olecranon Fossa Trochlea Capitulum Medial Epicondyle Lateral Epicondyle Anterior Right Posterior Right

Radius Head- Smooth, flat surface for articulation with the capitulum of the humerus. Neck- Narrow part between the head and the radial tuberosity. Radial Tuberosity- Directly under the head and neck, flat surface. The attachment for the biceps muscle. Linda Head Neck Radial Tuberosity Anterior Right

Articular Capsule Articular Capsule is sleeve like and surrounds a synovial joint, encloses the synovial cavity, and unites articulating bone. Composed of two layers Fibrous Membrane- usually consisting of dense irregular connective tissue that attaches to the periosteum of the articulating bones. Synovial Membrane- Composed of areolar connective tissue with elastic fibers. Linda

Cartilage Cartilage is a solid, stretchable type of connective tissue that forms parts of the skeleton where more flexibility and protection are necessary. Articular Cartilage provides a smooth, low friction gliding surface for free movement for the humerus, radius, and ulna. Its shiny surface also makes it kind of pretty! Linda

Bursae Bursae are closed sacs containing fluid, they prevent friction and enable structures to move freely over one another. Intratendinous Olecranon Bursa- Sometimes present in the tendon of the triceps Subtendinous Olecranon Bursa- Located between the olecranon and the triceps tendon, just proximal to its attachment to the olecranon Subcutaneous Olecranon Bursa- Located in the subcutaneous connective tissue over the olecranon Linda

Clinical Awareness of Bursae Injury can happen to the subcutaneous olecranon bursa by falls on the elbow, and from infraction from abrasions of the skin covering the olecranon, causing the bursa to become inflamed. Repeated excessive pressure and friction produce a friction called Subcutaneous olecranon bursitis. Pain is severe during flexion of the forearm It is easy to treat if the patient follows the P.R.I.C.E. Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Linda

Ligaments: Connect bone to bone Collateral ligaments of the elbow joint are strong triangular bands that are medial and lateral thickenings of the fibrous layer of the joint capsule Ulnar Collateral Ligament- Medial and triangular ligament that extends from the medial epicondyle of the humerus to the coronoid process and olecranon of the ulna consisting of three bands 1. Anterior cord-like band is the strongest 2. Posterior fan-like band is the weakest 3. Slender oblique band that deepens the socket for the trochlea of the humerus Linda

Ligaments Cont Radial Annular Ligament- This ligament encircles and holds the head of the radius in the radial notch of the ulna, and permits pronation and supination of the forearm Radial Collateral Ligament- Lateral fan-like ligament that extends from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus to the annular ligament of the radius and the radial notch of the ulna. Radial Annular Ligament Radial Collateral Ligament Linda

Ligaments Continued Interosseous Membrane- Fibrous connective tissue that joins the shafts of the radius and ulna. Interosseous Membrane Linda

The Musculocutaneous Nerve Supplies the elbow flexors EXCEPT the brachioradialis The Radial Nerve Supplies the elbow extensors The Median Nerve Supplies all the pronators of the forearm The Ulnar Nerve Runs posterior to the medial epicondyle

The Ulnar Nerve Known as the Funny Bone Largest nerve that is unprotected by deep tissues, ligaments, muscles, or bones. The severity of the numbness or pain varies from person to person Can cause spontaneous paralysis of pinky and lateral of ring finger. http://youtu.be/ZEcNgyIOO_E

Tennis Elbow Elbow tendinitis(tennis elbow) is inflammation of the lateral epicondyle. Occurs most commonly in the extensor carpi radialis brevis, where there is an increase in pain receptors in the area making the region very tender! Causes of tennis elbow The most common cause is the overuse or repetitive strain caused by repeated extension of the wrist against resistance. Gripping heavy objects Tennis is also a cause, although the above causes are more common. Linda

Treatment for Tennis Elbow Goals of treatment Identify the cause of injury Reduce pain and inflammation Gradually return the patient to activity Treatment It may take several different types of exercise to completely relieve pain caused by tennis elbow Icing to reduce inflammation and pain. Plenty of rest, but also with a few low grade exercises such as Stretching Exercises Strengthening Exercises The Real Life Dangers of Tennis Elbow - YouTube The Real Life Dangers of Tennis Elbow - YouTube Linda
