The elbow is the joint between the humerus and the forearm bones, the radius and ulna. It consists of three joints which are located within a common joint cavity. It allows the forearm to flex relative to the elbow and the forearm to pronate or supinate, that is, the movement of the anterior surface of the forearm dorsally and anteroposteriorly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Epicondylitis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Epicondylitis is a common elbow condition that occurs in adults aged 30-50 years and is divided into medial and lateral epicondylitis. As a condition, it is due to irritation\/inflammation of the tendons in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of the most common elbow injuries are caused by overuse: tennis elbow and golf elbow. Golfer’s elbow is inflammation of the paratrochial process and the origin of the flexors, and bowler’s elbow is inflammation of the paracondylar process and the origin of the extensor muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fractures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fracture can occur in any of the 3 different bones that make up the elbow joint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elbow fractures are quite common in adults and children. To avoid any complications, immediate treatment, either conservative or invasive, is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
