**[Elbow Joint Dislocation]** ----------------------------------------- ### **[Anatomy]** When dislocated, there can be damage to the ligaments in and around the elbow - **MCL (Stabilisation)** - **LCL (stabilisation**, posterolateral mainly) **Blood vessels** - **Brachial artery** Bones - **Humerus** - **radius** - **Ulna** Tendons - **Bicep** - **Triceps** ### **[Mechanisms]** **Rotatory force** generated by **a fall onto an outstretched hand** - **Abducted shoulder** - **Axial compression** - Supination of forearm? - Forced flexion of elbow? Damages ligaments such as **mcl and lcl** ### **[Predisposing factors]** **Trauma** **Overuse** (loosened connective tissue) **Age** (\65) **Previous injury** **Genetics** (condition) ### **[Rehab / Treatment]** **Dislocation reduction** - Held at 45 degrees - Tries to straighten arm by holding humerus and wrist and bringing forearm in line in upper arm - Followed by radiography - If serious, requires surgery Repair - **Brace / splint** holding it in pronation allowing lcl to heal - Also had **joint mobilisation and muscle strengthening exercises** (biceps, triceps etc) - Rom - Resistance - To enhance stability - **[\#]**
