Grip strength is not related to increased medial elbow joint-space gapping induced by repetitive pitching

JSES International, 2020
Background: Pitching induces elbow valgus stress, which can lead to an increase in medial elbow joint-space gapping when repeated. Previous basic research on the medial elbow joint shows that the contraction associated with gripping reduces medial elbow ...

The Effects of Elbow Bracing on Medial Elbow Joint Space Gapping Associated With Repetitive Throwing in High School Baseball Players

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2017
Background: Throwing athletes risk medial elbow injury from extreme valgus stress generated across the medial elbow during throwing. Braces have been developed to protect the elbow joint; however, no previous study has investigated the effects of elbow ...

Immunohistochemical characterization of nerve fibers supplying canine elbow joint capsule. [PDF]

BMC Vet Res
Introduction Only a few studies on the innervation of the dog's elbow joint have been described in veterinary literature. Consequently, there is a lack of information on the distribution and density of sensory nerve fibers within the dog's elbow joint ...

Interobserver agreement for detecting Hill-Sachs lesions on magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]

Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow, 2021
Background Our aim is to determine the interobserver reliability for surgeons to detect Hill-Sachs lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the certainty of judgement, and the effects of surgeon characteristics on agreement.

Validation study of novel grading system for ulnar collateral ligament injury of the elbow with high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging

JSES International, 2021
Background: Recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) classification of medial ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tears has been introduced, but little is known about the relationship between MRI grading and medial joint laxity.

Reconstruction of coronoid process of the ulna: a literature review

Journal of International Medical Research, 2021
As a pivotal part of the elbow joint structure, the coronoid process of the ulna plays a vital role in maintaining elbow joint stability. Loss of coronoid process height causes instability of the elbow joint depending on the fracture characteristics and ...

Poster 188: The Effect of Forearm Supination Versus Pronation at the Time of UCL Reconstruction Graft Tensioning on Post-Surgical Medial Elbow Joint Gapping in a Biomechanical Cadaveric Model

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2022
Objectives: The anterior bundle of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is the primary static valgus restraint of the elbow joint. In general, the effect of forearm supination and pronation on native and reconstructed UCL strain is poorly characterized ...
