BACKGROUND The radial head is considered the main stabilizer of the elbow when the medial collateral ligament and lateral ulnar collateral ligament have been compromised. Radial head replacement (RHR) is indicated for patients with irreparable or non-united radial head fractures associated with elbow stiffness or instability. The present study aimed to analyze the clinical results after treatme...

The objective of this review is to summarize the surgical options for primary osteoarthritis elbow, reported clinical outcomes, and suggested indications in previous literatures. management elbow arthritis has evolved because an improved understanding pathologic mechanisms manifestations as well development novel techniques devices. Osteocapsular arthroplasty (OCA), debridement, distraction art...

An unusual elbow injury occurring as a result of a poorly executed breakfall in judo is recorded. The treatment, possible mechanism and outcome are described. The poor prognosis of severe lesions is emphasised with reference to current literature.

Acute and chronic disorders of the elbow are frequently observed in both recreational and professional athletes, particularly athletes who participate in sports that involve throwing. Although clinicians most frequently evaluate athletes in throwing-related sports who have elbow pathology related to overuse injuries, including ulnar collateral ligament insuffi ciency, valgus extension overload ...

BACKGROUND Children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (hCP) exhibit a typical posture of elbow flexion during gait. However, the change in elbow kinematics and symmetry during gait across age span in both hCP and typically developing (TD) children is not well described. The aim of this study was to quantify the change in elbow kinematics and symmetry across age span in hCP children compared with T...

Osteoarthritis of the elbow has been recognized byveterinarians for many years to be a developmental diseasesyndrome in young dogs. It was not until the middle 1950s,however, that progress was made toward defining specificpathologic etiologies, with the elucidation of the problem of"ununited anconeal process." Originally thought to beanalogous to patella cubiti in humans,(13)the true nature of ...

1. The effects of maximum voluntary eccentric muscle actions on forearm flexor strength were studied at three different elbow joint angles (0.87, 1.57 and 2.79 rad) to examine whether subsequent impairment of contractile function is muscle length-specific. 2. A bout of 70 maximum voluntary eccentric muscle actions performed with the forearm flexors elicited delayed muscle soreness, efflux of cr...

The surgical procedures for and outcomes of soft tissue constraint reconstruction in complex elbow instability have been rarely investigated. The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical outcomes in a series of patients with complex elbow instability in whom the associated soft tissue constraint injures were identified and treated based on the pathoanatomic changes found intraoperative...

AIMS To assess the importance of physical and psychosocial risk factors for lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). METHODS Case-referent study of 267 new cases of tennis elbow and 388 referents from the background population enrolled from general practices in Ringkjoebing County, Denmark. RESULTS Manual job tasks were associated with tennis elbow (odds ratio (OR) 3.1, 95% confidence interval...

Background Complications caused by heterotopic ossification are a common concern after orthopaedic surgery of the elbow. Little effort has been directed at establishing best practices of management of heterotopic ossification in the elbow, in stark contrast to that in the hip. A survey was distributed to all orthopaedic residency programs in the United States to understand current management of...
