Even though elbow joint pathologies are quite common among people, yet this condition is mostly experienced by professional athletes, particularly tennis players, boxers and other who have had a traumatizing fall on elbow or received a blow to a joint.
Any movement of an arm requires elbow engagement. Thus, despite its relatively small function, a pathology of an elbow joint will have a severe restraining effect on movement of an upper limb in general. That is why if you have noticed one of the following symptoms, such as
- crunching sound in a joint
- redness and swollen tissues
- pain in elbow joint from the inside or outside of an arm when moving the arm
- restrained mobility
it is time that you saw one of our orthopedists-traumatologists in Zaporizhia.
Elbow joint most common injuries and traumas
Considering that an elbow joint is made of three bones’ articular surfaces (upper arm, elbow and radial), the most common injuries to an elbow joint are as follows:
- fracture of a condyle of humerus
- fracture of a tip of an elbow bone
- fracture of a head of radius
- avulsion fractures in the places of tendons attachment
- dislocation and incomplete dislocation of a forearm
Due to its anatomical structure, an elbow is vulnerable to dystrophic-degenerative processes developing as a result of inflammatory diseases or locally disrupted innervation and limited blood supply to the joint. Here is a list of pathologies that are the most common:
- lateral epicondylitis or “tennis elbow”
- elbow joint arthrosis, chondromatosis
- bursitis
- synovitis
- elbow joint neuritis
