WHAT ARE THE BURSAE OF THE ELBOW JOINT?
A bursa is a membranous sac filled with synovial fluid. It acts as a cushion to reduce friction between the moving parts of a joint:
1. Intratendinous: within the tendon of the triceps brachii.
2. Subtendinous: between olecranon and triceps tendon.
3. Subcutaneous (olecranon) bursa: between olecranon and the overlying connective tissue (implicated in olecranon bursitis).
Subcutaneous bursitis
Repeated friction and pressure on the bursa can cause it to become inflamed and maybe infected.
It is a repeated friction and pressure on this bursa leading to become inflammation or infection.
WHAT IS THE CUBITAL TUNNEL?
What the course (مسار) of the mentioned nerve?
It is a space of dorsal medial elbow that allows passage of Ulnar nerve around the elbow. Course of Ulnar nerve through it is:
1. Medial epicondyle above.
2. Under the Medial collateral ligament (posterior part).
3. Covered by the Common flexor tendon and Flexor carpi ulnaris muscle. Posterior medial edge of the Olecranon process.
Medial (Ulnar) Collateral Ligament
strong ligament that extends from Medial epicondyle of humerus to coronoid and olecranon processes of ulna.
- This ligament has 3 main bands: Anterior (Cord-like), Posterior (Fan-like), and Oblique (Transverse) bands.
What the bands of Medial (Ulnar) Collateral Ligament
Anterior (Cord-like), Posterior (Fan-like), and Oblique (Transverse) bands
The course of ulnar nerve through the cubital tunnle?
The ulnar nerve originates from the neck and down to the elbow joint passing behind the medial epicondyle
Then it travels under the medial collateral ligament, which is a band of tissue that helps to stabilize the elbow joint.
After that it is covered by the common flexor tendon, which attaches to the inner part of the elbow joint, and the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle, which is a muscle that helps to move the wrist. The nerve then runs along the posterior medial edge of the olecranon process, which is the bony tip of the elbow.
