Elbow

5. An Assesment
7. Perform at full extension and 20-30° flexion
8. Major tears or ruptures rare
10. Usually from hyperextension, or sudden, violent, valgus force that drives ulna posterior
12. From fall on flexed elbow, constantly leaning on elbow (“student’s elbow”), repetitive pressure and friction
14. Snapping or cracking sensation, followed by severe pain, rapid swelling, total loss of function, and obvious deformity
15. Vulnerable to compressive and tensile forces
17. binds head of radius to radial notch of ulna to form proximal radioulnar joint
18. is a large, three-headed muscle located on the posterior aspect of the upper arm, primarily responsible for elbow extension (straightening the arm).
19. Stress fractures to ulna and radius can happen during intensive weightlifting
20. “Tennis Elbow”

1. For ulnar neuritis
2. Considered the elbow joint
3. Common chronic condition seen in activities involving pronation and supination
4. is a prominent, two-headed muscle located on the anterior upper arm, essential for forearm flexion (bending the elbow) and powerful supination (turning the palm upward).
6. Repeated medial tension/lateral compression (valgus) force during acceleration phase of throwing
9. is lateral to humeroulnar
11. Elbow flexed, palpate lateral epicondyle
13. A bone that makes a part of the elbow
16. articulates with trochlear fossa of ulna
