Tennis elbow, an injury characterized by pain at the lateral (outer) aspect of the elbow. The patient may also complain of tenderness on palpation of the area of concern, usually the dominant arm. This entity was first described in a scientific article i
During a fall on the outstretched arm, the elbow begins to flex immediately upon hand impact with the ground. Due to an axial compression of the ulnohumeral joint with internal rotation of the body on the elbow, a supination force occurs. While the loading axis is shifted laterally, a ...
Elbow joint dislocations often occur when someone falls upon an outstretched hand and the force of the fall throws the elbow out of socket (or out of alignment). When Jenny placed out her hand to catch herself during her fall, her elbow absorbed the full weight of her body and her elbow...
Chronic posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) is the most common form of chronic elbow instability.PLRI usually occurs from a fall on the outstretched hand. On impact, the radial head and ulna rotate externally coupled with valgus displacement of the forearm. This leads to posterior displacemen...
Elbow injuries in adults are commonly grouped into two major categories: traumatic and nontraumatic (i.e., overuse). Traumatic injuries are very common in individuals who have sustained a fall onto an outstretched hand (FOOSH). Any patient who has sustained such a fall requires a good elbow ...
commonly occurs from a fall on a bent elbow; elbow immobilization (olecranon) while fracture heals - ORIF may be completed Radial head fracture commonly occurs from a fall on an outstretched hand; sling 1-2 weeks to rest (radial head) due to stability of ligaments around radial head ...
I can say that if I slowly straighten my arm, the pain go's away a little then I can move my arm (like a simulated bicep curl) without the stabbing pain. I don't have any issues with hand strength in that arm or pain in my wrist or fingers. I don't have weakness in my arm...
A radial head or neck fracture occurs during a fall on an outstretched hand or trauma/falls with the elbow in extension and forearm in pronation. Because the annular ligament wraps around the head of the radius, a fracture in this area can lead to damage to the ligament, and could potentia...
Elbow dislocations are unusual events in the athlete. They are not peculiar to any particular sport, and most result from a significant fall on the outstretched hand. They are traditionally classified according to direction of dislocation, but recent reviews have proposed schemes relating them to ...
We describe the case of an 11-year-old right-hand-dominant White Portuguese girl who presented with pain in her right elbow following a fall onto the outstretched hand that occurred while she was riding a bicycle. She was unable to move her elbow actively due to pain. A physical examination...
