Elbow Injuries: Pathology, Symptoms, and
Anatomy Verified and Updated Questions
and Answers (100% Correct Answers)
Contusion
Answer: Compressive load injury to soft tissue
Elbow fracture
Answer: Blunt trauma, load across bone tissue, FOOSH injury/ ALLOWS CHECK
DISTAL CIRCULATION
Gunstock deformity
Answer: Supracondylar fracture-the forearm, when extended, creates an angle with
the upper arm relative to the long axis of the upper arm that resembles a gunstock
Olecranon Fracture
Answer: Blunt trauma, load across bone tissue, FOOSH injury, Hyperextension
Radial Head Fracture
Answer: Blunt trauma, load across bone tissue, FOOSH injury
Forearm Compartment Syndrome
Answer: Ischemic (LACK OF BLOOD FLOW TO THE AREA) from brachial artery to the
forearm causing tissue death. Irreversible muscle necrosis begins @ 4-6 hours after
injury
Elbow osteochondritis dissecans
Answer: Impaired blood supply, portion of the articular cartilage and bone
dislodges creating loose bodies within the joint
Panner's Disease
Answer: Elbow osteochondritis dissecans in <10 years old, called Panner's. Starts
with osteochondrosis at the capitellum. Causes softening, and fissuring of articular
surface
Elbow dislocation
Answer: Force that removes the olecranon from the distal humerus
Ulnar collateral ligament sprain
Answer: Repetitive valgus loading on the elbow, late in cocking and early
