A

False, you would lose flexion before extension

18
Q

What direction does the radius slide and roll move in flexion of the elbow

A

19
Q

True or false: in elbow extension the radius slides proximally and rolls

20
Q

What type of joint is the proximal radioulnar?

A

Synovial
Compound

full pronation or full supination

22
Q

What is the loose packed position of the proximal radioulnar joint?

A

35 degrees of supination and 70 degrees of flexion

23
Q

True or false: you will lose supination and pronation equally at the proximal radioulnar joint?

24
Q

What secures the head of the radius to the radial notch on the ulna?

A

The annular ligament

25
Q

When the forearm pronates what are the arthrokinematics of the proximal radioulnar joint?

A

Posterior slide and roll

26
Q

When the forearm supinates what are the arthrokinematics of the proximal radioulnar joint?

A

Anterior slide and roll

27
Q

When you pronate what way does spin occur at the radiohumeral joint?

A

Medially (internally)

28
Q

When you supinate what way does the spin occur at the radiohumeral joint?

A

Laterally (externally)

29

31
Q

What is an age related condition that can occur in children up to the age of 10 that affects the elbow

A

Panner’s Disease
Affects the male surface (capitulum)
Decrease blood supply causes cartilage and subchondral bone death

32
Q

What elbow condition is common in people aged 15-20 years old?

A

Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD)

33
Q

What is the common name for lateral epicondylitis and what age population is it commonly found in?

A

Tennis Elbow, 35+ years old

34
Q

What is the common name for medial epicondylitis?

A

Golfers elbow

35
Q

What is the carrying angle?

A

The angle formed between the long axis of the humerus and long axis of the ulna

36
Q

Who has a greater carrying angle males or females?

37
Q

True or false: males typically have a carrying angle of greater than 10 degrees

A

False, anything greater than 10 degrees in males is possibly an issue

38
Q

At what point do you have the greatest valgus position of the elbow?

A

Full extension

39
Q

At what point do you have the least valgus position of the elbow?

A

Full flexion

40
Q

True or false: in full extension the medial and lateral epicondyles make a straight line with the olecranon?
