Elbow/Ulna/Radius Flashcards
What condition is likely the cause of these findings?
RA (bc bilateral)
- Extensive erosive changes are visualized at the ulnartrochlear and radiocapitellar joints with an associated complete loss of those joint spaces.
What condition is likely the cause of these findings?
What condition is likely the cause of these findings?
Olecranon bursitis
DDX for olecranon bursitis = RA, Trauma, Infection, Gout
What condition is likely the cause of these findings?
- Osteophytes present around the ulnartrochlear joint and at the radial head
- Subchondral sclerosis is present at the ulnatrochlear joint without visible joint space loss.
- An ossific density is noted at the anterior margin of the ulnatrochlear joint.

DX: Acute comminuted fracture of proximal ulna with associated dislocation of the proximal radius → this pattern of disruption is referred to as a Monteggia fracture dislocation
