Abstract

Examination of the elbow joint requires careful examination of the shoulder and neck as well as the wrist joint as pain can be referred to the elbow from both of these locations. The elbow joint is a synovial joint that allows flexion and extension. There are no intra-articular ligaments that stabilize the elbow joint and the majority of stability of the elbow joint arises from surrounding ligaments, muscles, joint capsule, and bony articulation. The elbow articulations are made up of the ulnohumeral and radiohumeral joint. The most common musculoskeletal condition that is encountered around the elbow is an overuse syndrome related to excessive wrist extension known as lateral epicondylosis.
