BACKGROUND There is paucity of literature describing complex elbow trauma in the pediatric population. We described a case of an uncommon pediatric elbow injury comprised of lateral condyle fracture associated with posterolateral dislocation of elbow. CASE PRESENTATION A 12-year-old boy sustained a direct elbow trauma and presented with Milch type II lateral condyle fracture associated with p...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare changes in muscle damage indicators following 24 maximal eccentric actions of the elbow flexors (Max-ECC) between the arms that had been previously trained either eccentrically or concentrically for 8 wk. METHODS Fifteen subjects performed three sets of 10 repetitions of eccentric training (ECC-T) with one arm and concentric training (CON-T) wi...

Elbow is a well-known body part of muscular strains and overuse syndromes. Patients presented to the orthopedic department with elbow pain or swelling often diagnosed benign conditions such as tennis elbow, golfer’s olecranon bursitis. It must be kept in mind that several tumoral can seen around patient carefully evaluated. In this study, we aimed demonstrate rare cases bone soft tissue tumors ...

BACKGROUND Elbow injuries are common in college baseball players. Pitching creates stress and fatigue in and around the elbow. Lack of joint proprioception can contribute to nonphysiological joint loading and injury. HYPOTHESIS There will be no difference in elbow joint active reproduction sense following a simulated 3-inning pitching sequence. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS ...

background: considering the importance of an early diagnosis and proper decision-making in regards to the treatment of pediatric distal radius and elbow fractures, this study examines emergency medicine specialists’ accuracy in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. methods: from 2012 and 2013, children less than 14 years old who were referred to an academic hospital emergency departmen...

background: when non-operative treatment of tennis elbow fails; a surgical procedure can be performed to improve the associated symptoms. different surgical techniques for treatment of lateral epicondylitis are prescribed. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of surgical treatment for tennis elbow based on small incision techniques.   methods: this technique was perfo...

The present study examined muscular activity in the primate proximal forelimb during a posture task. By applying loads selectively to the shoulder, elbow, or both joints, we observed that monoarticular shoulder and elbow muscles varied their activity with loads at the unspanned joint. Shoulder monoarticulars changed activity with elbow torque and elbow monoarticulars changed activity with shoul...

INTRODUCTION Anterior elbow dislocation is an infrequent lesion, produced by direct trauma to the proximal ulna after a fall on the elbow in flexion and injury to the neurovascular bundle is not infrequent. Authors report a case of acute anterior dislocation of the elbow joint with neurovascular injury. CASE REPORT A 30-year-old male admitted with a history of accidental fall followed by pain...

We present a 23-year-old man with distal humerus osteoid osteoma referring to our hospital with pain and progressive stiffness. The patient has been suffering from the disease for two years without a certain diagnosis. The radiographies of elbow did not reveal the pathology but further CT scan and MRI studies demonstrated the tumor. The en block resection of the tumor resolved the pain immediat...
