Elbow Flashcards
connects ulna to medial epicondyle
ulnar collateral ligament
connects radius to lateral epicondyle
radial collateral ligament
surrounds radial head and radial notch of ulna, allows for pronation and supination
annnular ligament of radius
normal carrying angle of upper extemity
cubital valgus of 5-8 degrees
radiography of arthritis
cloudy, junky joint space

lateral epicondylitis, aka, what sructures
tennis elbow, origin of extensor carpi radialis brevis
treatment of medial and lateral epicondylitis-es
RICE and brace ( ergobeads )
brace for epicondylitis provides
artificial insertion point
two signs of intraarticular fracture in elbow
fat pad and sail sign
fat pad and sail sign in adults tends to mean
radial head fracture
fat pad and sail sign in children tends to indicate
supracondylar fracture
types I, II, III of radial head fractures
I - nondisplaced
II - displaced > 2mm at articular surface or angulated
III - severely comminuted
