Lateral epicondylitis

Lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow, is an overuse syndrome of the common extensor tendon and predominantly affects the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon. Epidemiology Lateral epicondylitis occurs with a frequency of 7 to 10 times that of medial epicondylitis. As with ...

Lateral epicondyle fracture (elbow)

Lateral epicondyle fractures of the elbow are rare epicondylar fractures. They are much rarer than medial epicondyle fractures and represent avulsion of the lateral epicondyle. They are usually seen in the setting of other injuries 1-3.  Terminology These fractures are avulsion fractions of th...

Common extensor tendon injury

Common extensor tendon injuries of the elbow include partial and complete tears or detachment of the common extensor tendon origin of the elbow and are commonly associated with lateral epicondylitis 1-4. Epidemiology Common extensor tendon injuries are the most common acute tendon injuries of ...

Common extensor origin of the elbow

The common extensor origin of the elbow classically refers to the common tendon of the following forearm extensor muscles, which form a common footprint at the lateral epicondyle 1,2: extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) extensor digitorum communis (EDC) extensor digiti minimi (EDM) extenso...

Radial tunnel syndrome

Radial tunnel syndrome is an entity that refers to entrapment (tunnel syndrome) of the radial nerve in the forearm, as it occurs in the supinator syndrome. Some authors believe this is an early form of the posterior interosseous nerve syndrome 5. Epidemiology There may be a female predilection...

Lateral collateral ligament complex of the elbow

The lateral collateral ligament complex or radial collateral ligament complex is a major lateral stabilizer of the elbow joint and resists varus stress. Gross anatomy The LCL is a Y-shaped ligamentous complex composed of three parts 1,2: annular ligament from sigmoid notch to supi...
Article

Anconeus muscle

The anconeus muscle is a small muscle in the posterior compartment of the arm at the lateral aspect of the elbow. Its functional significance is not well understood 5. It should not be confused with the anconeus epitrochlearis, an accessory muscle that is present in up to one third of people, a...

MRI of the elbow (an approach)

MRI of the elbow is a fairly frequent examination in musculoskeletal radiology practice and not quite as common in general radiological practice. This approach is an example of how to create a radiological report of an elbow MRI with coverage of the most common anatomical sites of possible patho...

Humerus

The humerus (plural: humeri) is a tubular bone of the arm that articulates proximally at the shoulder with the glenoid of the scapula, and distally at the elbow, with the radius and ulna. Gross anatomy Osteology The humerus begins proximally as a rounded head and joins the greater and lesser ...
Article

Radial collateral ligament of the elbow

The radial collateral ligament (RCL), radial collateral ligament proper or lateral collateral ligament of the elbow is a static lateral stabilizer and a part of the lateral collateral ligamentous complex of the elbow. Gross anatomy The radial collateral ligament courses through the intertuberc...
Article

Extensor digiti minimi muscle

Extensor digiti minimi (EDM) muscle (also known as extensor digiti quinti proprius) is a muscle of the superficial layer of the posterior compartment of the forearm, and with other extensor muscles arises from a common extensor tendon attached to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. The EDM re...
Article

Lateral humeral condyle fracture

Lateral humeral condyle fractures also referred to simply as lateral condyle fractures (in the appropriate context), are relatively common elbow fractures that predominantly occur in children. They may be subtle but are hugely important to diagnose in a timely manner because if they are missed, ...
Article

Additional radial wrist extensor muscles

Additional radial wrist extensors are normal anatomical variants and accessory muscles of the forearm and the wrist.  The following additional wrist extensors have been described 1-6: extensor carpi radialis intermedius extensor carpi radialis accessorius extensor carpi radialis tertius Epid...
Article

Extensor digitorum muscle

Extensor digitorum (ED) muscle, also known as extensor digitorum communis (EDC) muscle, is a muscle of the superficial layer of the posterior compartment of the forearm and with other extensor muscles arises from a common tendon attached to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. It is one of the...
Article

Medial epicondylitis

Medial epicondylitis (plural: medial epicondylitides), also known as golfer's elbow, is an angiofibroblastic tendinosis of the common flexor-pronator tendon group of the elbow. Epidemiology Medial epicondylitis is less common than lateral epicondylitis. As with lateral epicondylitis, it typica...
Article

AO/OTA classification of distal humeral fractures

The AO/OTA classification of distal humeral fractures is one of the most frequently used systems for classifying distal humeral fractures.  The AO classification divides distal humeral fractures into three groups, A, B and C with complexity and severity increasing 1. type A: extraarticular  A...
Article

Extensor carpi radialis longus muscle

Extensor carpis radialis longus (ECRL) muscle is a muscle of the superficial layer in the posterior compartment of the forearm. It passes through the 2nd extensor compartment of the wrist. It is one of the three muscles forming the mobile wad of Henry. It is one of the extrinsic muscles of the h...

Total knee arthroplasty

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA), or total knee replacement (TKR), or tricompartmental knee replacement is an orthopedic procedure whereby the three articular surfaces of the knee (femoral, tibial, and patellar) are replaced by prosthetic components. TKA is the most common joint arthroplasty perfo...

Posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow

Posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) of the elbow is the most common pattern of elbow instability, most commonly seen following posterior elbow dislocation 1. It is characterized by 2-4: posterolateral subluxation/dislocation of the radial head relative to the capitellum posterior displa...

Elbow radiograph (an approach)

Elbow radiographs are common and oftentimes difficult to interpret without a solid systematic search strategy.  Systematic review Choosing a search strategy and utilizing it consistently is a helpful method to overcome common errors seen in diagnostic radiology. The order in which you interpre...
