A thorough understanding of the anatomical and biomechanical particularities of the elbow is required to provide an optimal management of pathologies. The forearm joint is highly effective and based on the complex anatomy of the elbow. Besides the osseou
The elbow joint consists of three separate articulations: the ulnohumeral, radio-capitellar, and proximal radio-ulnar joints, together inside a small capsule with a volume of 15鈥 20 cc. The soft tissue are divided into passive stabilizers (the lateral collateral ligament, the medial collateral ...
The pulse is usually felt just inside the wrist below the thumb by placing two or three fingers lightly upon the radial artery. The examiner's thumb is never used to take a pulse because its own pulse is likely to be confused with that of the patient. Pressure should be light; if the...

Lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow, represents a common source of elbow pain with a prevalence rate of 1%–3% [41]. The most common presentation is pain, hyperalgesia, and weak grip strength. Overuse is usually the most common cause of this pathology [41,42]. Diagnosis is ma...
This layer of the anterior compartment contains four muscles that begin near your elbow: The pronator teresmuscle mainly works to rotate your forearm. The flexor carpi radialis helps move your arm away from your body. The palmaris longus helps flex the wrist, so you can wave at a friend or...

During the wrist curl three major forearm muscles work - the flexor carpi radialis, the flexor carpi ulnaris and the palmaris longus. All of these muscles originate from the medial epicondyle of the humerus (the bonny lump on the inside of your elbow) and insert down just past the wrist...
