Elbow

The elbow is a complex joint consisting of three articulations-

• The radio-capitellar joint
• The ulna-humeral joint
• The proximal radio-ulnar joint

It plays an essential role in daily life facilitating the hand being able to work and function in a sphere and in sporting life it has an important role as a shock absorber.

The elbow joint can suffer from a number of conditions including:

• Fractures
• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Tendinopathy
• Tendon rupture
• Bursitis
• Nerve entrapment
• Stiffness
