Anterior view of the course of the median nerve. Note the path of the nerve between the two heads of the pronator teres muscle

Anterior view of the course of the radial nerve. Note the position of the deep branch of the radial nerve (posterior interosseous nerve) as it passes through the arcade of Frohse at the proximal margin of the superficial head of the supinator muscle .

1. Radiohumeral joint
Arthrology Synovial pivot/hinge joint. Ligaments Radial collateral ligament Annular ligament Kinetics Joint is designed primarily for flexion and extension but must allow the radial head to spin during pronation and supination. the head of the radius is in full contact in full flexion as the head of the radius enters the radial fossa of the humerus. Only half of the head makes contact on full extension. Innervation Abundant from the radial nerve and its branches, musculocutaneous and some supply from median nerve.

2. Humeroulnar joint
Arthrology Synovial hinge joint. Ligaments Medial collateral ligament Arcuate ligament Kinetics Considered a hinge joint; flexion and extension sagittal motion. Innervation Supplied by the ulnar nerve, median nerve, musculocutaneous and radial nerves.

Valgus stability
In extension, valgus stability is provided by the medial collateral ligament, anterior capsule and bony articulation. In flexion 54% of the stability is provided by the MCL alone. The anterior oblique portion of the MCL is thought to be a particularly important stabilizer.

Varus stability
In extension, varus stability is provided by the capsule (32%), the bony articulation (54%) and the lateral collateral ligament (14%). In flexion more stability is provided by the articulation (78%). In distraction most of the resistance was capsular (78%). Disruption of the lateral collateral ligament complex post dislocation or after chronic varus microtrauma . Elbow not often subject to varus stress. Straight varus instability is not as apparent as the posterolateral rotatory instability that always accompanies disruption of the LCL.

Posterolateral stability
Fall onto outstretched hand producing a valgus stress with hypersupination under axial compression. Disrupts the LCL (ulnar band) first with spontaneous reduction of subluxation, further stress disrupting medial ligament complex (posterior band first then anterior band) and the anterior capsule. Stages of disruption range from subluxation to complete dislocation. Other causes include: Lateral release for tennis elbow (LUCL disruption), radial head excision.

Carrying angle: Initially it was defined as the angle formed by the long axis of the humerus and the long axis of the ulna. An average angle of 10-15 degrees for men and slightly higher for women was described. This angle has since been measured using the humerus or the ulna as the fixed reference system. A third system is more dynamic and measures the abduction/adduction angle of the ulna with respect to the humerus. In this case the carrying angle progressively decreases with flexion.

A complete examination of the elbow includes the neck, shoulder and wrist. The most common overuse injury of the elbow is lateral tennis elbow.

Tendinopathy.
Due to damage, some of the normal collagen fibers have been replaced by scar tissue, which has similar structure but is not as strong .

Tendonitis.
Secondary to the damage within the tendon substance, inflammatory changes have developed around the tendon. Anti-inflammatory medication (including tablets and cortisone injections) can help relieve pain, but do not help heal the tendon damage .
21 Dr Youssef masharawi
Healing tendon.
The scar tissue within the tendon is starting to reorganize and preserve some structural strength. The best way to make this happen is to repeatedly load the tendon below its threshold of damage. Overload is dangerous, but complete rest means that the healing won't occur either .
22 Dr Youssef masharawi
The goal of any tendino-pathy is a healed tendon, where new collagen fibers have grown and the tendon is now as strong as the original and is no longer painful. The tendon is usually a little wider and less elastic, but highly functional. In the vast majority of tendinopathy cases, healing like this is possible .
