The joint of the elbow refers to the complex joints of a person, because in its cavity it is possible to distinguish 3 smaller joints: the adrenoid, the radiolucent, the brachial.
As a rule, the diagnosis of various diseases of the elbow joint in specialists does not cause difficulties. This is all due to the fact that it is well-available for various diagnostic procedures and examinations.
Quite often the lesion of one joint is observed with neurotrophic arthropathy of Charcot and hemophilia. It must be said that monoarthritis of the elbow joint can be met quite rarely.
The reason for the possible "articular blockade" may be a synovial chondromatosis or a dissecting osteochondritis of the epiphysis of the humerus.
During such diseases, "articular mice" are often found in the cavity of the elbow itself. The greater number of chronic diseases of the joint in question lead to the development of flexion contracture.
In the absence of visible changes, the limitation of the mobility of this joint, it can be caused by diffuse fasciitis. If there is such a pathology, then the skin looks like an orange peel in the area of the inner surface of the forearms, well, of course, and shoulders, it will not be folded into the fold, and a painless compaction will be probed directly beneath it.
Another reason for the development of arthritis may be a change in periarticular tissues of a degenerative-dystrophic nature .As a rule, such processes occur because of the same type of movements performed during work or, for example, due to a strong impact on the elbow during sports.
In this regard, the most famous is the tennis player's elbow. With such a disease during the turn or when extending the forearm back, there is a local pain in the place of the external shoulder epicondyle.
Also, pain can appear if you strongly squeeze your hand into a fist and simultaneously unbend it in the wrist joint. Less commonly, you can find "golf player's elbow."Here in this disease, mostly patients complain of pain that comes from the region of the internal epicondyle of the humerus during flexion and when the forearm is turned inwards.
In the event that your professional activity is related to the fact that you rely on the elbow joint for a long time, then in the future you may have an inflammation of the joint bag or develop various diseases of the elbow joint if you do not have proper care of yourself.
