  1. Elbow and Forearm Evaluation Ms. Bowman

  2. Anatomy Review • Bones • Radius • Ulna • Humerus • Articulations • Humeroulnar Joint • Humeroradial Joint • Proximal and Distal Radioulnar Joints • Ligaments • Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) • Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament (LUCL) • Radial Collateral Ligament (RCL) • Annular Ligament • Accessory Lateral Collateral Ligament (ALCL) • Interosseuous Membrane

  3. Anatomy Review-Muscles • Elbow Flexor and Supinator Group • Biceps brachii-supinated • Brachialis-pronated • Brachioradialis-neutral • Supinator • Elbow Extensors • Triceps brachii • Anconeus • Elbow Pronators • Pronatorteres • Pronatorquadratus

  4. Anatomy Review-Muscles • Medial Epicondyle • Flexor carpiradialis • Palmaris longus • Flexor digitorumsuperficialis • Flexor carpiulnaris • Lateral Epicondyle • Extensor carpiradialislongus • Extensor carpiradialisbrevis • Extensor carpiulnaris • Extensor digitorumcommunis muscles

  5. Anatomy Review-Nerves • Median nerve-crosses the anterior elbow • Ulnar nerve-between olecranon process and the medial epicondyle • Radial nerve-posterior aspect of the humerus then crosses lateral elbow joint

  6. Anatomy Review-Bursae • Subcutaneous olecranon bursa • Subtendinousolecranon bursa

  7. History • Location of pain • Onset of the symptoms • MOI • Technique • Sounds, sensations (Rice Crispies) • Pmhx • General medical health

  8. Inspection • Anterior Structures • Carrying angle • Cubitalfossa • Medial Structures • Medial epicondyle • Flexor muscle mass • Lateral Structures • Alignment • Cubitalrecurvatum • Extensor muscle mass • Posterior Structures • Bony alignment • Olecranon process and bursa What are you looking for when you inspect the structures in these locations?

  9. Palpation • Anterior Structures • Biceps brachii • Cubitalfossa • Brachioradialis • Wrist flexor group • Pronatorquadratus • Medial Structures • Medial epicondyle • Ulna • Ulnar collateral ligament • Lateral Structures • Lateral epicondyle • Radial head • Lateral ulnar collateral ligament • Capitellum • Annular ligament • Radial collateral ligament • Posterior Structures • Olecranon process • Olecranonfossa • Triceps brachii • Anconeus • Ulnar nerve • Wrist extensors • Finger Extensors • Thumb musculature What are you looking for when you palpate these structures?

  10. Range of Motion Tests • Flexion • Extension • Pronation • Supination

  11. Ligamentous Tests • Valgus Stress Test • Varus Stress Test

  12. Neurological Tests • Upper Quarter Screen- to learn with shoulder

  13. Special Tests • Elbow Sprain-Posterolateralrotatory instability test • Epicondylitis-Tennis Elbow Test, Golfer’s Elbow Test • Nerve Trauman-Tinel’s Sign
