The elbow

As elbow is generally referred to generally the connection between the upper arm and lower arm, which includes both the elbow joint and the surrounding tissue structures. The elbow joint, formed from the lower end of the humerus and the upper ends of the ulna and spine, makes a significant contribution to the enormous mobility of the arms by not only bending and stretching, but also rotations of the forearm. More specifically, the elbow joint can be subdivided into three partial joints-the upper arm-the Ellen joint (hinge joint), the upper arm-spokes joint (ball joint) and the proximal elbow-spokes joint (wheel joint). This surrounds a relatively large common joint capsule.

In the area of ​​the elbow there are numerous ligaments (for example the ulnar sideband or the spinal sideband) and muscle groups which serve to move and stabilize the joint. Elbow flexors and extensors are essentially the muscles of the upper arm, such as the biceps and triceps. In addition to muscles, ligaments and vision, numerous nerve tracts (for example, the radial nerve, the ulnar nerve) and blood vessels pass through the cramped structures around the elbow. Therefore, impairment at the muscular level can easily lead to further symptoms. If, for example, muscle tension arises as a result of repeated incorrect loading, this may cause a nerve to become pinched and cause discomfort in the area of ​​supply of the nerve. In addition to elbow pain so may include underarm pain or wrist pain and discomfort such as a tingling in the limbs. A typical example is the so-called ulnar trough syndrome. However, pain and discomfort can also be observed in connection with blood vessel compression.

Illnesses due to repeated stress are relatively common in the elbow area. The complaints are described by names such as "tennis elbow" or "golfer's elbow", even if they are often not in sports but while working on the computer. However, the elbow joint can also be affected by other diseases such as arthritis or arthritis. In addition, signs of wear in the form of osteoarthritis are often the cause of complaints in the elbow area. Increased mechanical stress can also cause a painful bursitis, which is reflected in elbow pain and a significant swelling of the elbow. Also, the elbow can be damaged acutely by external force, for example, in a fall or accident. Fractures, ruptures or dislocations of the joint are possible consequences here. (Fp)
