There is a lesion that has been described in the
0:05
baseball pitcher who is, uh, a youngster.
0:10
And it's a trochlear osteochondral injury.
0:13
It leads to irregularity, cystic change,
0:15
and sometimes a bone concavity located here
0:20
between the trochlear and the Capella.
0:23
This can become quite large, large enough.
0:27
So you can see it with routine radiography, as in this case.
0:31
I think I have another one.
0:33
Here's another example of that, not quite as prominent,
0:37
but this is a trochlear osteochondral injury.
0:41
And then another problem
0:42
that we can see in baseball pitchers
0:45
and other athletes are stress fractures involving the iliac.
0:50
Classically, they begin deep on the deeper surface
0:53
and they extend in a linear
0:55
and often oblique fashion toward the posterior surface.
0:59
Here is one example of what one might look like.
1:02
I've seen a lot of these.
1:03
Here's another one shown by ct and mr.
1:07
That's almost a, a, uh, complete fracture involving the oc.
1:12
Here's one that we followed over 18 months.
1:17
Here's what it looked like.
1:18
Initially, it was kinda limited to the deep surface
1:21
of the eon.
1:23
It healed. You can see low signal reflecting bone sclerosis.
1:27
And then what happened is a re fracture occurred
1:31
through that area.
1:34
One further example where a stress fracture progressed
1:37
to a complete fracture involving, uh, the ilium.
1:43
And my last slide, I wanted to show you boxer's, elbow,
1:48
'cause boxer's, elbow can lead to a peculiar pattern
1:51
of bone proliferation that occurs postal laterally.
1:55
I'm showing you diagrammatically.
1:58
I'll show you that in one case, reported in the literature
2:02
in full extension
2:04
and pronation,
2:05
one may get impingement involving this region of the elbow.
2:10
So it's kind of on the lateral side, not on the medial side.
2:15
So what I've done in, uh, my allotted period of time,
2:19
actually a little bit shorter than that, I've kind of gone
2:21
through elbow stability and instability.
2:26
I've emphasized the critical ligaments.
2:28
I know we've gone into a lot of anatomy, which for some
2:31
of you may, uh, be a little bit too much at the beginning,
2:35
but hopefully it'll give you an idea
2:37
of what you have to learn.
2:39
If you wanna understand what is a stable elbow
2:43
and what is an unstable elbow.
