Antero-posterior (AP) and lateral view of the elbow joint should be obtained. Any other sites of pain, deformity, or tenderness should warrant an X-ray for that area too. X-ray of the forearm (AP and lateral) should also be obtained for because of the common association of supracondylar fractures with the fractures of the forearm.
The posterior fat pad is normally pressed in the olecranon fossa by the triceps tendon, and hence invisible on lateral radiograph of the elbow. [3] When there is a fracture of the distal humerus, or other pathology involving the elbow joint, inflammation develops around the synovial membrane forcing the fat pad out of its normal physiologic resting place.
Panner disease is primarily seen in boys between the ages of five and ten years old. [2] Panner disease is often caused by excessive throwing due to valgus stress . The disease causes pain and stiffness in the affected elbow and may limit extension; the affected elbow is usually on the dominant arm the child uses. [ 3 ]
Studies generally use the x-ray appearance of the arm to determine how displaced a fracture is. The definition of ‘displaced fractures' are variable, with anything from 2mm to more than 15mm; [4] however x-rays on which this assessment is made are known to be hugely misleading with fractures showing little displacement having >10mm displacement using CT scans.
Little League elbow, or apophysitis of the elbow causes children to feel aching, sharp pain, with or without swelling of the inside of their elbow after pitching. Over time, these symptoms can appear and reappear without warning, even when restricting the athlete to lower velocity pitching. [7] Decreased throwing velocity may also be noted. [8]
An exostosis, also known as a bone spur, is the formation of new bone on the surface of a bone. [1] Exostoses can cause chronic pain ranging from mild to debilitatingly severe, depending on the shape, size, and location of the lesion.
Often a child will hold their arm against their body with the elbow slightly bent. [1] They will not move the arm as this results in pain. [2] Touching the arm, without moving the elbow, is usually not painful. [1] A pulled elbow typically results from a sudden pull on an extended arm. [2] This may occur when lifting or swinging a child by the ...
