Medial condyle fractures involve a fracture line that extends through and separates the medial metaphysis and epicondyle from the rest of the humerus. By definition, the fracture line must involve the trochlear articular surface. Medial condyle fractures must not be confused with medial epicondylar fractures...

Medial condyle fractures involve a fracture line that extends through and separates the medial metaphysis and epicondyle from the rest of the humerus. By definition, the fracture line must involve the trochlear articular surface. Medial condyle fractures must not be confused with medial epicondyle fractures that involve the medial column...

Medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) injuries of the knee are common. The MCL and LCL provide restraint to valgus and varus angulation of the knee respectively. The MCL has both superficial and deep components. The superficial MCL fibers attach to the medial femoral epicondyle proximally and...

Medial tibial plateau osteonecrosis is a disease that lacks distinguishing signs and symptoms, especially in the early stage, and requires clinicians to exercise a high degree of suspicion to prevent disease progression. We present a case of spontaneous...

Osteochondrosis / Stress Frx of Medial Epicondyle

Discussion: - a traction apophysisitis of the medial epicondyle which needs to be distinguished from avulsion frx of the medial epicondyle - the medial epicondyle is an apophysis which is connected to the MCL as well as being connected to...

Plica syndrome of the knee is a constellation of signs and symptoms that occur secondary to injury or overuse. An otherwise normal structure, a plica can be a significant source of anterior knee pain. Once an inflammatory process is established, the normal plical tissue may hypertrophy into a truly pathological...

Medial epicondylitis is sometimes referred to as Golfer's Elbow - not because only golfers get the problem, but because the golf swing is a common activity that can cause the problem. There are many other activities that can result in medial epicondylitis - such as chopping wood with an ax,... Highly Reputable

Optimal surgical management of the unicompartmental osteoarthritic knee has eluded the orthopedist for decades. McKeever is credited with recognizing that arthritis of the knee could be unicompartmental in nature. Treatment options for medial compartment arthritis have varied extensively, including valgus unloading braces; opening or closing wedge osteotomies of the proximal...

Medial wear on the polyethylene component after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has been attributed to impingement of the humeral cup on the lateral border of the scapula. We present a case that illustrates that the presence of early heterotopic ossification may exacer- bate medial wear of the polyethylene component in...

Medial epicondylitis, also called golfer's elbow, was first described in 1882 by Henry J. Morris in the The Lancet. This condition is an overuse syndrome that is characterized by pain at the flexor-pronator tendinous origin and is seen in sports activities with repetitive valgus stress, flexion, and pronation, such as...
