摘要
A painless, supple elbow joint is essential for effective upper extremity function. The majority of activities can be performed with 100 of flexion and extension and 100degrees of pronation and supination. Inflammatory conditions affecting this articulation can create significant disability. Therapies and procedures directed toward pain reduction and improved motion are the cornerstone of treatment.
