What's Causing Your Inner Elbow Pain—and How To Treat It
Inner elbow pain pain often stems from overuse and repetitive stress. It can sometimes develop in response to injury or inflammation, such as medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow) or arthritis.
7 Simple Wrist Strengthening Exercises
Wrist strengthening exercises improve the flexibility and range of motion of your wrist joints and tendons. These easy at-home exercises benefit athletes such as boxers, gymnasts, and tennis players, as well as people at risk of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Understanding the differences between mobility and flexibility
Mobility and flexibility are related but distinct. Improving flexibility and mobility may improve a person’s athletic performance and range of motion, and help to reduce the risk of injuries.
Management of Severe Elbow Arthritis in a Young Patient
Elbow osteoarthritis is occasionally primary and most often post-traumatic. Nonoperative treatment is frequently the best course of action. Available surgical options are governed by the location of cartilage deterioration, bone structure, and preoperative joint instability.
Over-the-top triangular fibrocartilage complex repair may be viable option for instability
The triangular fibrocartilage complex is a critical structure in the wrist that provides stability to the distal radioulnar joint. Injury to the foveal attachment of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) at the distal ulnar head often disrupts the deep fibers of the dorsal and volar radioulnar ligaments, leading to pain with or without distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability. This article describes the arthroscopic inside-out transosseous or "over-the-top" technique to repair the TFCC and presents a case example of this method.
