View a sample question below:
A 50-year-old man presents to your office with left elbow pain. The patient was walking and fell 4 days ago. He broke his fall with his pronated hand as he touched the ground. He was not injured and continued his walk, but he still has pain in his elbow. When examining his elbow, which of the following will be the most likely pathology of the radial head?
- Anterior glide restriction
- Medial glide restriction
- Posterior glide restriction
- Radial head subluxation
Correct answer: A
Radial head motion is directly linked to the wrist position. When the wrist is in a pronated position, the distal radius will be in an anterior and medial position. A reciprocal motion of the radial head (proximal radius) happens at the same time, and it will glide posteriorly. Motion also occurs in the opposite direction.
When the wrist is in a supinated position, the distal radius is in a posterior position, and the radial head glides anteriorly. This patient fell on his pronated hand, putting his radial head in a posterior glide. Therefore, the restricted position of the radial head will be the opposite, in an anterior glide restriction.
Posterior glide restriction (C) happens when a patient falls backward and lands on their supinated hand. The radial head will be in an anterior glide, and the restriction will be in the opposite direction.
Radial head subluxation (D) occurs more in infants and younger patients when their arms are pulled and the radial head slips under the annular ligament.
Medial glide restriction (B) is not a common radial head motion pathology due to its anatomical attachments.
One Step Further Question
Q: What nerve is most likely to be damaged in a humeral fracture?
