Biciptial Tenosynovitis |
Causes pain and stiffness in the shoulder. It is the result of inflammation of teh tendon sheath of the long head of the biceps which, may result in adhesions which bind the tendon to the bicipital groove and under the surface of the rotator cuff |
|
|
Frozen shoulder |
Marked limitation in allmotions as a result of degererative changes in the musculotendinous cuff, the synovia, articular cartilage, biceps tendon and biceps tendon sheath. May have an insidious onset, follow direct trauma, or occur after injuries of the distal part of the extremity. It may also follow cerebral vascular accidents or result from referred shoulder pain. |
|
|
Longitudinal Compression Injuries |
Usually the result of falling on the hand with the elbow in a close-packed position - fractures of the radial head or olecranon process may also occur with the force of the fall |
|
|
Longitudinal Distractive Injuries |
A sudden or forceful pull on the radius may result in the radial head being pulled out of the annular ligament. Very often see in children and is called nursemaid's elbow or pulled elbow. |
|
|
Avascular Necrosis |
Death of connective and other tissue as a result of poor blood supply. This may occur at the elbow as a result of improper casting for fractures of the radius, ulna, or supracondylar of the humerus. |
|
|
Epicondylitis of the lateral epicondyle (Tennis elbow) |
The result of excessive or repeated forceful contractions of the wrist extensor that have their proximal attachment on the humeral lateral epicondyle |
|
|
Epicondylitis of the medial epicondyle (Golfer's elbow) |
The result of excessive or repeated forceful contractions of the wrist flexors that have their proximal attachment on the humeral medial epicondyle |
|
|
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome |
Ulnar nerve (funny bone nerve) may become compressed as it passes through the cubital tunnel (between the olecranon process and the humeral medial epicondyle) the person will experience impaired motion of the thumb and 3rd and 4th fingers. This condition may be precipitated by repeated forceful contractions of teh felxor carpi ulnaris. |
|
|
Tenderness directly over the tendon of the wrist and pain during wrist flexion or ulnar deviation may be an indication of what? |
Flexor Carpi Ulnaris Tendonitis |
|
|
Wrist drop |
Arises from damage to the radial nerve and leads to loss of innervation of extensor muscles resulting in an inability to actively extend wrist and fingers |
|
|
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome |
Results from compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel |
