2.
1. Flexion/extension
2. Supination/pronation
the 4 joints in the elbow cavity are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
1. Ulnohumeral Joint
2. Radiohumeral Joint
3. Radioulnar Joint
4. Interosseous membrane
what is the function of the radial collateral ligament:
stabilize radius to humerus
what is the function of the ulnar collateral ligament:
stabilize ulna to humerus
what is the function of the annular ligament of the radius:
stabilize over head of radius
what determines the carrying angle:
angle of trochlea
Any shift of (radius/ulna) will significantly impact elbow function
ulna
describe the carrying angle for a and b:
a. Cubitus Valgus
Ulna ABduction

anterior radial head
what does this describe:

radial head slips under annular ligament
Nursemaid’s Elbow
how would you treat nursemaid's elbow:
Hold in pronation with extension, then SUPINATE and FLEX forearm
what is the function of the interosseous membrane:
1.
2.
1. bind radius and ulna together
2. Gives stability to distal radius
in the ... force is shifted from one bone to the other so that both bones are impacted
Interosseous Membrane
what kind of motion does the Interosseous Membrane have:
parallelogram
what is a Galeazzi fracture:
Radial shaft fracture with associated dislocation of distal radioulnar joint (dislocation is at wrist)
