ELBOW:

ELBOW ANATOMY: THERE ARE 3 BONES THAT MAKE UP THE ELBOW: RADIUS ULNA HUMERUS

ELBOW BONEY LANDMARKS: MEDIAL EPICONDYLE LATERAL EPICONDYLE OLECRANON PROCESS

ELBOW LIGAMENTS: RADIAL COLLATERAL LIGAMENT ULNAR COLLATERAL LIGAMENT ANNULAR LIGAMENT

RADIAL COLLATERAL LIGAMENT: LIGAMENT THAT CONNECTS THE RADIUS TO THE HUMERUS

ULNAR COLLATERAL LIGAMENT: LIGAMENT CONNECTS THE ULNA TO THE HUMERUS

ANNULAR LIGAMENT: LIGAMENT CONNECTS RADIUS AND ULNA ASSISTS WITH ROTATION OF THE FOREARM

OLECRANON BURSA: A BURSA IS A FLUID FILLED SAC USED AS PROTECTION FOR CERTAIN BODY PARTS

Elbow Joint: Hinge joint Meaning it has 2 movements Synovial joint Meaning it is a freely moveable joint

ELBOW MOVEMENTS: FLEXION EXTENSION

ELBOW INJURIES: SPRAINS STRAINS HYPEREXTENSION OLECRANON BURSITIS LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS MEDIAL EPICONDYLITIS FRACTURE DISLOCATION VOLKMANN’S CONTRACTURE

ELBOW SPRAINS: INJURY TO A LIGAMENT TREATMENT: PRICE

ELBOW STRAIN: INJURY TO A MUSCLE OR A TENDON TREATMENT: PRICE

ELBOW HYPEREXTENSION: OVER-EXTENSION OF THE ELBOW JOINT CAUSING INJURY

OLECRANON BURSITIS: INFLAMMATION OF THE OLECRANON BURSA

LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS: AKA TENNIS ELBOW! OVERUSE INJURY TO THE TENDON CONNECTING TO THE LATERAL EPICONDYLE THESE MUSCLES/TENDONS PERFORM SUPINATION

MEDIAL EPICONDYLITIS: AKA GOLFERS ELBOW OVERUSE INJURY TO THE TENDON CONNECTING TO THE MEDIAL EPICONDYLE THESE MUSCLES/TENDON S PERFORM PRONATION

ELBOW FRACTURE: BROKEN BONE TO ONE OF THE 3 BONES OF THE ELBOW TREATMENT: SPLINT, ICE, SEE PHYSICIAN

ELBOW DISLOCATION: A SEPARATION OF BONES OF THE ELBOW TREATMENT: SPLINT, ICE, SEE PHYSICIAN

VOLKMANN’S CONTRACTURE: INJURY THAT OCCURS WHEN THE BRACHIAL ARTERY IS OBSTRUCTED PREVENTING BLOODFLOW DISTALLY TREATMENT: ACTIVATE EMS
