Document Summary
Elbow is a very stable joint therefore to cause dislocation larger forces are needed in unstable positions. Anterior capsule: damaged through hyperextension (damage to anterior aspect of capsule) Valgus sprain (mucl: valgus movement of elbow (elbow joint coming closer to midline, hand going outward) Affected rom"s: extension (most aggravating) pulls apart injured structure/opens up medial side of elbow, active and passive, flexion (bicep tendon injury) active and resisted, pronation/supination (radial head dislocation) Response: muscle guarding = elbow flexors will increase in tone and activation in an effort to protect injured joint (biceps) Care: temporary, hinge bracing (limits extension, or valgus, surgical intervention for mucl, palmaris longus tendon, plantaris tendon (both can be used to replace mucl) Nerve is surrounded by ct and blood supply. Peripheral nerve compression or it is being pulled apart compromising blood supply to the affected nerve.
