A type of elbow instability where the joint dislocates outwards and backwards due to injury to the ligaments on the outside of the elbow.

The force applied to the elbow joint along its axis.

The bending of the elbow joint.

The outward rotation of the forearm.

A condition where the elbow joint curves outward.

A type of elbow instability characterized by excessive movement in the valgus direction (outward bending).

The ligaments and muscles that help to stabilize the elbow joint beyond the primary ligaments.

The force required to break a ligament.

The elbow joint is compressed by gravity to improve its alignment and stability.

Exercises that involve contracting muscles without movement, used to strengthen muscles around the elbow joint.

A positive drop sign indicates weakness in the elbow's ability to extend, suggesting a possible injury to the ulnar nerve.

Forces applied to the elbow that push the joint outwards or inwards, potentially stressing the ligaments.

Strengthening exercises designed to improve the muscles that stabilize the elbow joint.

A common scoring system used to assess the functional limitations of the arm, shoulder, and hand.

A scoring scale used to measure the overall performance of the elbow joint.

Early mobilization refers to starting movement and exercise soon after an injury, while late mobilization means delaying these activities.

The maximum valgus stress on the elbow occurs during the late cocking and acceleration phases of throwing.

The ligament that helps stabilize the medial side of the elbow joint. Damage to this ligament can lead to valgus instability.

The amount of valgus stress on the elbow during a tennis serve can exceed 60 N m.

A serious elbow injury involving a combination of a coronoid process fracture, radial head fracture, and elbow dislocation.

A painful condition where the elbow clicks, snaps, or locks, often causing a sensation of instability, especially during extension.

Pain in the medial (inside) side of the elbow, often associated with valgus instability or PLRI.

Pain in the lateral (outside) side of the elbow.

A test to assess for valgus instability by applying a valgus stress to the elbow.

A test for valgus instability that involves applying valgus stress while the elbow is in motion.

A test for PLRI that involves applying a varus stress to the elbow.

A test for PLRI that involves applying a lateral force to the elbow while it's flexed.

A test for PLRI that involves pushing up from a seated position with the arms outstretched.

A test for PLRI that involves pushing up from a prone position.

A test for PLRI that involves relocating the elbow joint while the arm is extended.

A medical procedure that aims to fix a damaged structure by restoring it to its original form and function.

A surgical technique that involves replacing a damaged structure with a new one, often using grafts or synthetic materials.

The decision to repair or reconstruct a damaged ligament, tendon, or other soft tissue structure often depends on various factors, including the severity of the injury, the patient's age and desired activity level, and the surgeon's preference.

The first line of treatment for most elbow injuries, aiming to reduce pain, inflammation, and restore function through physical therapy, bracing, and medication.

A situation where an elbow joint becomes stiff and limits range of motion.

The formation of abnormal bone growth in the elbow joint, which can restrict movement and cause pain.

A serious complication that can occur after surgery, involving the formation of new bone in the soft tissue, leading to pain and limited movement.

A rare but serious complication that can arise after surgery, involving the pain and swelling of the upper limb, often associated with nerve damage.

A common type of elbow injury where the ligament on the inside of the elbow, the medial collateral ligament (MCL), is stretched, partially torn, or completely torn. This injury often occurs due to repetitive throwing motions or sudden forces that cause the elbow to bend outwards.

A group of injuries that affect the major structures in the elbow: the MCL, ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), and the medial joint capsule.
