1. ELBOW:

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

3. ELBOW BONEY LANDMARKS:
MEDIAL EPICONDYLE
LATERAL EPICONDYLE
OLECRANON PROCESS

4. ELBOW LIGAMENTS: RADIAL COLLATERAL LIGAMENT ULNAR COLLATERAL LIGAMENT
ANNULAR LIGAMENT

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

6. ULNAR COLLATERAL LIGAMENT:
LIGAMENT CONNECTS THE ULNA TO THE HUMERUS

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

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

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

10. ELBOW MOVEMENTS:
FLEXION
EXTENSION

11. ELBOW INJURIES: SPRAINS STRAINS HYPEREXTENSION OLECRANON BURSITIS
LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS

VOLKMANN’S CONTRACTURE

12. ELBOW SPRAINS:
INJURY TO A LIGAMENT
TREATMENT:
PRICE

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

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

15. OLECRANON BURSITIS:
INFLAMMATION OF THE OLECRANON BURSA

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

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

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

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

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