Non-traumatic Medial-Sided Elbow Pain: A Comprehensive Review of Etiologies, Diagnostic Strategies, and Treatment Approaches
Medial elbow pain is a rare and often underrecognized condition. In non-traumatic cases, such as medial epicondylitis (ME), ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury, cubital tunnel syndrome, snapping medial triceps, and posteromedial impingement, the clinical presentations are often similar, making diagnosis challenging. This narrative review aims to synthesize current evidence regarding the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies for non-traumatic medial elbow pain.
Traumatic Versus Atraumatic Causes of Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: A Systematic Review of Pathophysiology and Outcomes
Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) is a common musculoskeletal disorder caused by traumatic or atraumatic factors, resulting in pain, functional limitation, and reduced quality of life. This systematic review aimed to summarize the pathophysiology, anatomical changes, and functional outcomes of traumatic versus atraumatic SIS.
What Causes Infraspinatus Pain and How Can You Treat It?
The infraspinatus muscle works alongside three other rotator cuff muscles to stabilize and move the shoulder. This triangular-shaped structure primarily externally rotates the arm. This means it rotates the arm toward the outside of the body. It also assists with moving the scapula (shoulder blade) when your shoulder joint is fixed (not moving). Occasionally, repetitive movements or other disorders can cause pain in this muscle.
Open approaches to the lateral elbow: surgical indications, anatomic considerations, and technical pearls
Several lateral approaches to the lateral elbow have been described for management of a variety of elbow pathologies, and each poses unique technical challenges given the complexity of surrounding neurologic, vascular, and ligamentous anatomy. This article reviews 6 common lateral elbow approaches
