  1. Elbow Injuries

  2. Spiral fracture of humerus MOI: torsion from throwing a dodge ball in physical education class

  3. Medial Epicondylitis • Known as Little League Elbow • MOI – overuse, too many pitches • S&S – pain medial condyle of humerus • TX – ICE and REST

  4. Little League Elbow • Inflammation over medial epicondyle of humerus • Attachment of forearm flexors

  5. Pitch Counts started in 2006

  6. Lateral Epicondylitis

  7. Lateral Epiconylitis • Known as tennis elbow • Inflammation of the wrist extensors • Pain at the attachment of the lateral epicondyle of the humerus

  8. Lateral Epicondylitis • MOI – overuse • S&S – point tender over lateral epicondyle of humerus, swelling, weakness • TX – rest, rest, rest, and ICE, ICE, ICE • Movement causes scar tissue to form, athlete may need ultrasound and NSAIDS to heal.

  9. Olecranon Bursitis • MOI – blow or fall tip the elbow • S&S – tons of swelling, loss of ROM • TX – ICE and compression wrap, pad for activity

  10. ULNAR NERVE CONTUSION • MOI – direct blow to “funny bone” • Ulnar nerve runs in a groove behind the olecranon process and medial epicondyle • S&S – parasthesia down ulnar side of forearm, 4th-5th fingers • TX – ice and pad for sport

  11. ELBOW DISLOCATION

  12. Elbow dislocation • MOI – FOTOSA with elbow locked • Dislocates POSTERIORLY • Fracture common with dislocation • S&S – obvious deformity, loss ROM • TX – ice, sling, hospital to be reduced

  13. Elbow hyperextension • Hypermobility of elbow • Females tends to have natural hyperextension • Damage to ligments, bones, tendons surrounding the elbow

  14. Elbow hyperextension • MOI – posterior force when are is fixed, FOTOSA • S&S – pain, muscle spasm, swelling, and loss of strength • TX – RICE, splint, suregery for fractures and complete tears

  15. Elbow Sprains • MOI – medial or lateral force upon elbow while elbow is fixed. • Tear of ulnar or radial collateral ligaments • RICE, surgery for 3rd degree

  16. Ruptured biceps (tendonitis) • Can occur at the proximal ( shoulder) or distal (elbow) insertion • Ice, rest, ultrasound, NSAID, surgery for 3rd degree tears • Torn distal bicep tendon ( steroids)

  17. Fractured Humerus

  18. Fractured ulna and radius

  19. Fractured ulna and radius

  20. Fractured growth plate – base 1st metacarpal

  21. Fractures • MOI – sudden force to arm, FOTOSA, severe torsion force

  22. Plates and screws to improve healing process

  23. External fixation

  24. External Fixation
