Arm and Elbow

The elbow is a ginglymus or hinge joint that allows movement in only one plane of motion, the sagittal plane, performing the movement of elbow flexion and extension. The proximal radioulnar joint is part of the elbow joint complex and is a trochoidal or pivot joint. It only allows motion in the transverse plane of motion providing for the movements of forearm supination and pronation.

There are a variety of pathologies that affect the elbow like lateral epicondylitis, medial epicondylitis, ulnar nerve entrapment, radial never entrapment, ulnar collateral ligament tear, ligament sprain, and fractures. There are a variety of elbow splints, supports, sleeves and slings to provide support and compression during the healing process helping to control pain and inflammation.
