	==[[Medial Epicondylitis (Golfer's Elbow)]]==		==[[Medial Epicondylitis (Golfer's Elbow)]]==
	~~===Background===~~
	*Overuse syndrome affecting the wrist and digit flexors
	*Also seen in pitchers and rock-climbers

	~~===Clinical Features===~~
	*TTP over medial epicondyle and pain w/ forced flexion and pronation of forearm/wrist
	*Ulnar neuropathy may develop (given proximity of ulnar nerve to medial epicondyle)

	~~===Management===~~
	*Conservative: rest, ice, NSAIDs, immobilization (often via counterforce brace)

Triceps Tendon Rupture

← Older revision		Revision as of 20:53, 7 March 2012
Line 2:		Line 2:

	==[[Triceps Tendon Rupture]]==		==[[Triceps Tendon Rupture]]==
	~~===Background===~~
	*Injury is rare and almost always occurs distally
	*Results from FOOSH causing flexion of extended elbow or direct blow to olecranon

	~~===Clinical Features===~~
	*Pain and swelling posteriorly just proximal to the olecranon
	*Sulcus w/ a more proximal mass (retracted triceps) may be palpated
	*With complete rupture ability to extend the elbow is lost

	~~===Diagnosis===~~
	*Obtain radiographs to rule-out avulsion fracture

	~~===Management===~~
	*Sling, ice, and referral to ortho
	*Most partial tears can be treated conservatively w/ immobilization

Biceps Tendon Rupture

← Older revision		Revision as of 20:44, 7 March 2012
Line 1:		Line 1:
	==[[Biceps Tendon Rupture]]==		==[[Biceps Tendon Rupture]]==
	~~===Background===~~
	*Vast majority are proximal
	*Occurs w/ sudden or prolonged contraction in pt w/ chronic bicipital tenosynovitis

	~~===Clinical Features===~~
	*Snap or pop is described
	*Flexion of elbow elicits pain and may produce mid-arm "ball"
	*Loss of strength is minimal
	*Proximal
	**Swelling and tenderness over bicipital groove
	*Distal
	**Swelling and tenderness over antecubital fossa
	**Inability to palpate distal biceps tendon in antecubital fossa

	~~===Diagnosis===~~
	*Obtain radiographs to rule-out avulsion fracture

	~~===Management===~~
	*Sling, ice, and referral to ortho
	**Surgical repair is usual for young, active pts
