INTRODUCTION Ganglion cysts are benign soft tissue swellings commonly found in the wrist. The presence of these cysts in the elbow is uncommon, and few case reports have been reported for this condition at this location. These lesions can compress on the neighbouring structures or cause restriction of the joint movement. The awareness of this entity is a must, to arrive at an early diagnosis. ...

BACKGROUND Tennis elbow is commonly encountered by physicians, yet little is known about the cost of treating this condition. HYPOTHESIS The largest cost associated with treating tennis elbow is procedural intervention. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive epidemiology study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4. METHODS This retrospective population-based study reviewed patients who were treated for new-onse...

The elbow is a complex, highly constrained joint that provides critical range of motion to the upper extremity needed for performing the normal activities of daily living. The elbow is protected by a fortress of individual static and dynamic constraints that function together to provide stability. Knowing the identity and specific functions of each stabilizing structure facilitates appropriate ...

Since the first description of an ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tear at the elbow 60 years ago and the first description of surgical reconstruction 20 years ago, many advances have been made in management and surgery. UCL tears at the elbow remain a disease of the overhead athlete. Various imaging studies have been used in the diagnosis of UCL tears at the elbow; however, the physical examina...

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...

BACKGROUND Identification of fluid in the elbow joint by physical examination alone can be challenging. Ultrasound can assist in the diagnosis of elbow effusion, and guide aspiration of the effusion. OBJECTIVES We illustrate the anatomy and ultrasound guidance technique of a posterior approach to elbow arthrocentesis using examples of normal and pathologic elbow joint ultrasound images. DIS...

Distal humeral epiphyseal separations are rare and treatment strategies are not well defined. The case of a full-term male newborn with a distal humeral epiphyseal separation as the result of a birth trauma was reviewed. A literature review of this topic was undertaken to better understand its occurrence, diagnosis, and treatment options. The patient sustained a distal humeral epiphyseal separa...

RATIONALE Synovial cysts are well known in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and most common in the popliteal fossa. They may produce lots of local symptoms and complaints, which may present initially as an unrelated clinical condition. Few studies have reported multiple extra-articular synovial cysts (MESCs) in the RA patients. Early diagnosis is crucial for patient treatment. PATIENT CONCERNS A 50...

The elbow is a vital part of the complicated and intricate mechanism known as throwing. The athlete that participates in a throwing sport walks a fine line between success and injury. It is this line that the clinician must monitor. When an athlete admits that an injury has occurred, it is up to the physician to listen, observe, and examine the player in great detail. Injuries that involve the ...
