# data[].attributes.body
swelling disrupting the ROM
expected that swelling goes down after inflammatory stage and she regains her ROM
ligaments would heal within this timeframe --> therefore more stability and thus increased ROM

tenderness over radial head- as she is in her inflammatory stage with the fracture healing, and you are applying compression forces to the radial head

# data[].attributes.body
Inflammatory stage – 2 weeks. Reparative stage/union – several months. As the fracture is not displaced and in a moderately sized bone, the hard callus could form relatively quickly. By the time the client returns to sport, remodelling phase/consolidation is just beginning.

# data[].attributes.body
- FOOSH - fallen from a bike
- change in angulation of fall
- less of a capacity to stabilise herself as she is away from the ground
-cycling at a high speed --> higher velocity, angle
- compressive forces at axial length, high strain on bone --> fracture

taking contraceptive --> decrease in bone mineral density?

Anterior

anterior capsule strain

biceps tendinopathy

pronator syndrome

Posterior

Olecranon bursitis

Triceps tendinopathy

Posterior impingement

Acute

Supracondylar fractures

Olecranon fractures

radial head fractures

dislocation (most common posterior)

# data[].attributes.body
Sail sign- due to the anterior fat pad raise, indicates joint effusion. Blood accumulates in the intra-articular space and pushes the fat pad anteriorly.

# data[].attributes.body
Very vague

- at least 4-6 weeks for fracture to fully heal (no stress/heavy lifting/WB)
- but can be up to 12 weeks for RTS
- if full strength/ROM, then likely can start doing activities
- regardless of displacement (even if some notable angulation), immobolise anyway
- UL can be accelerated as not WB; if supination pronation hurts, then probably doesnt work

# data[].attributes.body
Type 1 = non/minimal displacement, no mechanical block to rotation
- non surgical way involves splint/sling for few days/1 week
- too much motion may shift bones, displacing them
- sling/immoblisation/cast 1 week for stability usually (cast more ideal)

Type 2: displaced > 2mm/angulated, possible mechanical block to forearm rotation
- no block, treat nonsurgical
- block, = ORIF
Type 3: communited and dispalced, mechanical block to motion
- nearly always wrrants surgery via ORIF or radial head replacement/excision
- possible screws/plates if large bones, if small then will remove
Type 4: radial head fracture w/ associated elbow dislocation

Prognosis of Elise's radial head fracture

Prognosis of Elise's radial head fracture

# data[].attributes.body
Depends on fracture type - varies 6-12 weeks on average but usually heals well

Elise
- likely has grade 1 hence requires non surgical intervention
- period of immobilisaiton via thermoplastic cast ~days to 1-3 weeks depending on fracture and stability

# data[].attributes.body
myositis ossifications can occur as a result of the fracture/ trauma- calcified mass in the tissues near a joint which can limit ROM.

fracture of the capitellum

strain or rupture of the annular ligaments

in more severe cases, can get tearing of the interosseous membrane=> subluxation of the Ulna

open fracture- piercing of the biceps brachii?

damage to the radial nerve and artery.

# data[].attributes.body
- immediate mobilisation
- focus on alleviating stiffness first then work your way down to weight training
- return to cycling approx 6 weeks
