Now the second quadrant where we see findings
0:04
is the lateral compartment.
0:05
And here we get collision of the radial head
0:08
and the capella.
0:10
So we end up with osteochondral injuries
0:13
or chondral injuries more often on the humeral side,
0:16
but also involving the radial side as well.
0:20
So here is a very famous professional baseball pitcher
0:24
who has a chronic problem on the medial side with a large
0:29
and feso fight that has developed.
0:31
But I wanted to show you the typical region that we see
0:35
osteochondral injuries involving the Capella.
0:38
Typically it's the anter surface.
0:41
And this is a lesion that we often use,
0:44
often use the term osteo ance.
0:49
Now the third quadrant is the postal medial aspect
0:53
of the elbow joint.
0:55
And here we deal with impingement
0:58
and sheer uh, findings.
1:00
And so let's, uh, look at that.
1:03
This is called valgus extension overload syndrome.
1:08
That occurs when a valgus moment is coupled with near
1:12
terminal elbow extension.
1:14
And it's that particular force that produces sheer,
1:19
uh, forces as well.
1:21
That can lead to a variety of abnormalities
1:24
that often include bone proliferation, that proliferation
1:29
maybe in the form of osteophytes, especially postal medially
1:34
in the reon,
1:36
but also in the adjacent region of the reon fossa
1:41
of the humerus.
1:43
Okay? And it said the vulnerable position is 30 degrees
1:46
of elbow flexion during the deceleration phase of swelling.
1:51
Let me show you, uh, a few examples of this.
1:55
So here's one example.
1:56
Most of these cases are in baseball pitchers
1:59
and professional pitchers, showing you by diagram
2:02
where I look for the abnormality.
2:05
Here is an example of what it looks like.
2:07
You can see the contact here in that region
2:11
between a liquin on and humerus you.
2:15
I wanna also point out this.
2:17
Some people have emphasized the pointing
2:21
of the medial aspect of the eon as a sign of impingement,
2:27
but you gotta be a little careful with that particular sign
2:29
because a certain degree of pointing is seen
2:34
in normal people who do not have impingement.
2:37
So it's that finding I don't think is as reliable.
2:41
Here's another example, professional baseball pitcher.
2:44
You can see the feminization of the humerus
2:47
and the top two images,
2:48
you can see the bone proliferation nearby, okay,
2:53
near the E foa.
2:56
And here what it looks like.
2:58
That's a classic place that we will see impingement.
3:02
I wanted to point out the ulnar nerve
3:04
because some of these baseball pitchers will
3:07
develop ulnar neuritis.
3:09
It's not evident in this particular case.
3:12
Now, there are other causes of impingement that occur.
3:15
Posteriorly, oon
3:18
and thiel fights in this case associated with fragmentation,
3:22
can lead to thickening of the posterior capsule
3:25
and abnormal tissue in that region that can lead
3:29
to impingement.
3:32
Now if we look at a few other abnormalities, you will see in
3:36
baseball pitchers,
3:38
and I've seen these more often in the immature skeleton than
3:42
in ature skeleton.
3:44
There is a particular, this one happened to be in an adult,
3:46
but this is a trochlear osteochondral injury.
3:50
It's not the Osborne cutter that we saw on the,
3:53
on the other side, but this is involving
3:56
the posterior aspect of the troia.
3:59
And it's probably a sheer injury leading to cartilage loss
4:03
and leading to irregularity of the subc chondral bone plate
4:07
with nearby bone sclerosis.
4:10
So you will see this sort of abnormality.
