- Tennis Elbow
-
- Tennis elbow is a common name for the elbow condition lateral epicondylitis. It is an overuse injury that causes inflammation and microtears of the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle.
-
- Golfer's Elbow
-
- Golfer’s elbow, also called medial epicondylitis, is a painful condition occurring from repeated muscle contractions in the forearm that leads to inflammation and microtears in the tendons that attach to the medial epicondyle.
-
- Bicep Tendon Tear at the Elbow
-
- A biceps tear can be complete or partial. Partial biceps tendon tears will not completely break the tendon while complete tendon tears will break the tendon into two parts. Tears of the distal biceps tendon are usually complete and the muscle is separated from the bone.
-
- Elbow Stiffness
-
- Elbow stiffness is a condition characterized by a restricted range of motion of the elbow causing difficulty bending, straightening, or rotating your arm. Elbow stiffness may be caused due to injury, disease, or deformity.
-
- Elbow Ligament Injuries
-
- Elbow ligament injuries are injuries to the tough elastic tissues that connect the bones of the elbow joint to each other. These ligaments stabilize the elbow while allowing an appropriate joint range of motion to occur. An acute or chronic injury to the elbow ligament can result in joint laxity and loss of elbow function.
-
- Elbow Fractures
-
- Elbow fractures may occur from trauma, resulting from various reasons: a fall on an outstretched arm, a direct blow to the elbow or an abnormal twist to the joint beyond its functional limit.
-
- Elbow Trauma
-
- The elbow is a complex joint of the upper limb, formed by the articulation of the long bone of the upper arm or humerus, and the two bones of the forearm - the radius and ulna.
-
- Ulnar Nerve Neuritis
-
- Ulnar nerve neuritis, also known as ulnar nerve entrapment or cubital tunnel syndrome, is a condition in which the ulnar nerve becomes irritated and inflamed due to constant pressure on it, leading to various symptoms.
-
- Elbow Dislocation
-
- The arm in the human body is made up of three bones that join to form a hinge joint called the elbow. The upper arm bone or humerus connects from the shoulder to the elbow to form the top of the hinge joint.
-
- Triceps Tendonitis
-
- Triceps tendonitis is inflammation of the triceps tendon, the tissue that connects the triceps muscle on the back of the upper arm to the back of the elbow joint, allowing you to straighten your arm back after you have bent it.
-
- Cubital Tunnel Syndrome (Ulnar Nerve Entrapment)
-
- When the elbow is bent, the ulnar nerve can stretch and catch on the bony bump. When the ulnar nerve is compressed or entrapped, the nerve can tear and become inflamed, leading to cubital tunnel syndrome.
-
- Elbow (Olecranon) Bursitis
-
- Inflammation of the olecranon bursa leads to a condition called olecranon bursitis.
-
- Elbow Sprain
-
- An elbow sprain is an injury to the soft tissues of the elbow. It is caused due to stretching or tearing (partial or full) of the ligaments that support the elbow joint.
-
- Little League Elbow
-
- Little league elbow, also called medial apophysitis, is an overuse condition that occurs when there is overstress or injury to the inside portion of the elbow. It is commonly seen in children involved in sports activities that require repetitive throwing such as baseball.
-
- Distal Biceps Avulsion
-
- The biceps muscle, located in the front of the upper arm, allows you to bend the elbow and rotate the arm. Biceps tendons attach the biceps muscle to the bones in the shoulder and in the elbow.
-
- Elbow Pain
-
- Damage to any of the structures that make up the elbow joint can cause elbow pain.
-
- Ulnar Nerve Neuropathy
-
- Ulnar nerve neuropathy is the entrapment or compression of the ulnar nerve causing impairment of its function.
-
- Radial Tunnel Syndrome
-
- Radial tunnel syndrome is a painful condition caused by pressure on the radial nerve of the forearm. The entrapment or compression occurs frequently in the proximal forearm in the radial tunnel; a narrow space formed by muscles, bone, and tendon near the elbow joint.
-
- Elbow Instability
-
- Elbow instability is a condition in which the elbow joint occasionally slides out of alignment due to the unstable state of the joint.
-
- Post-traumatic Stiffness (Elbow)
-
- Medically, stiffness is difficulty moving a joint due to the loss of the joint’s range of motion caused by an injury (trauma) or a disorder.
-
- Radial Head Pathology
-
- Radial head pathology can be defined as the study of causes and effects of conditions, fractures, or dislocations pertaining to the radial head.
