| On physical examination, a swollen, fluid-filled sac is noted and palpated over the olecranon. |
|
| Radiographs may show osteophytes of the olecranon tip and the medial wall of the olecranon fossa, hypertrophy of the olecranon and loose bodies. |
|
| The ulnar nerve passes medial to the olecranon process and behind the medial epicondyle in the cubital tunnel. |
|
| It may also be worth noting that the area of origin for the m triceps is extensive, and the olecranon process of the ulna is notably large. |
|
| All three heads run into a common tendon that crosses the elbow joint and inserts on the olecranon process on the ulna bone in the Forearm. |
|
| Common sites for bursitis include the pre-patellar bursa, the olecranon bursa, and the subacromial bursa. |
|
| A sesamoid bone is occasionally contained within the tendon of the triceps muscle proximal to the olecranon. |
|
| Patients with long-standing gout may have tophi over the olecranon prominence, first metatarsal joints, or pinnae. |
|
| A typical injury associated with contusion was traumatic olecranon bursitis. |
|
| The olecranon bursa may also be the site of infection, frequently caused by Staphylococcus aureus. |
|
| Other locations include the ulnar aspects of the forearm, olecranon, and prepatellar bursae, Achilles tendons, and hands. |
|
| If the symptoms of olecranon bursitis are recurrent, corticosteroid injection may be performed. |
|
| Common locations include the external ear, foot, hand, prepatellar bursa, and olecranon region. |
|
| It arises from the posterior surface of the medial epicondyle of the humerus and is inserted onto the olecranon process. |
|
| Ulnar and radial ligamentous stabilities are assessed with the patient's forearm flexed at 20 degrees to unlock the olecranon from its fossa. |
|
| The olecranon is the bony landmark identified as the elbow in surface anatomy. |
|
| He developed various prosthetic devices, including a bi-cortical screw fixation for the olecranon. |
|
| The distal articular surface has a very wide medial epicondyle and the olecranon fossa is shallow. |
|
| Loss of forearm from above disarticulation at wrist to 3 inches below the tip of the olecranon process. |
|
| Note: If the olecranon tip impinges, the small distractor should be mounted on the ulnar link proximal to the hinge unit. |
|
|
|
| It covers the tip of the olecranon, the coronoid process, and the radial fossa. |
|
| Painless swelling of the posterior elbow at the outer tip of the olecranon in a patient complaining of repetitive friction to the elbow indicates olecranon bursitis. |
|
| The principle of the tension-band technique is mainly employed in avulsion fractures and fractures of the olecranon or patella. |
|
| They performed a fenestration of the distal humerus through the olecranon fossa to the coronoid fossa. |
|
| Cabral, however, was found to have a stress fracture of his left olecranon, a thick bone at the tip of the elbow. |
|
| James has an elbow strain and a bruise in his olecranon, the bony tip of his right elbow. |
|
| The client fell and sustained a fracture to her olecranon process yesterday. |
|
| Using a drill guide, insert two parallel Kirschner wires in line with the longitudinal axis of the olecranon. |
|
| The elbow is slightly flexed, to bring the apex of the olecranon out of the fossa. |
|
| Figure 11 Flexing the elbow allows palpation of the olecranon fossa on either side of the triceps tendon. |
|
| Tenderness of the triceps tendon is present at or just superior to the attachment on the olecranon and increases with extension performed under resistance. |
|
| With the elbow flexed at 90 degrees, the needle is inserted 0.5 cm into the skin between the olecranon and the medial epicondyle, and 3 to 5 ml of solution is injected. |
|
| The normal end-feel in extension should be the firm sensation of bone contacting bone as the olecranon tip contacts the distal humerus in the olecranon fossa. |
|
| Biceps and triceps skinfolds were measured at the level of nipple line and midway between the acromion process of the scapula and the olecranon process respectively. |
|
| They occur in the lungs, heart, kidney, and dura mater, in addition to the extensor surface of the forearm, olecranon, Achilles tendons, and ischial area. |
|
| Figure 14 The elbow joint may be palpated inside a triangle formed by the bony prominences of the lateral epicondyle, the radial head, and the olecranon. |
|
| Amputation of forearm less than 7.5 cm below the tip of the olecranon process to loss of arm below the level of the insertion of the deltoid muscle. |
|
| This method is used to treat simple olecranon fracture proximal to the koronion. |
|
| This broader structure is also attached low on the medial epicondyle, and inserts in a fan-shaped pattern over virtually the entire margin of the trochlear notch of the olecranon. |
|
| Proliferative osseous change, intraosseous cysts, chondrocalcinosis, and olecranon bursitis can occasionally be seen in the patients with gout. |
|
|
|
| Because this animal has developed mouthparts, with teeth and a keratose olecranon palatine, only chunks of prey are found in its stomach. |
|
| In extension, the apex of the olecranon is held in the olecranon fossa. |
|
| These may result from degenerative change, injury where an articular fragment may separate, osteochondritis dissecans, olecranon impingement and synovial chondromatosis. |
