What does the synovial capsule of the elbow encompass?
Humerus and proximal radius and ulna
What structure does a supracondylar fracture possible injure?
Brachial artery or median nerve
What can the synovial capsule contribute to?
Lateral epicondyalgia by becoming inflamed
What lives in the cubital fossa?
Median nerve
Brachial artery
Radial nerve
Biceps tendon
What is the capsular pattern of elbow?
Flexion more than extension
Pronation more than supination
What is the function of the interosseus membrane?
Separates 2 bones and transfers forces
Where is myositis ossificans most commonly seen?
Brachioradialis
What is a key point that indicates osteochondritis dessicans?

What does the profundus move?
DIP
What does the superficialis move?
PIP
How can you tell if it is a capsular issue?
Slack tendon and still stiff
How can you tell if it’s a tendon issue?
Slack tendon and gain more joint ROM
How can you rule in a peripheral nerve problem over a nerve root problem?
More distal weakness than proximal
What are special tests for wartenbergs syndrome?
Finkelsteins
MMT of wrist radial deviation and extension
Tinels

What is the special test for anterior interosseus syndrome?
Ok sign test
What is the best intervention for carpal tunnel syndrome?
Night orthosis with carpal tunnel kinesiotaping
What is mechanism of humero-radial joint?
Convex on concave (opposite)
How would you increase pronation in the humero-radial joint?
Radial head glides anterior on humerus
What are the mechanics of the proximal radioulnar joint?
Convex on concave
How do you increase pronation at the proximal radioulnar joint?
Posterior glide
What are the mechanics for thumb flexion and extension?
Concave on convex
What are the mechanics for thumb abduction and adduction?
Convex on concave
