Elbow stiffness and fibrous stiffness
Introduction
Introduction to elbow joint stiffness and fibrous stiffness For various reasons, the elbow joint activity is lost and fixed in a specific position in the bone fusion. It is called elbow joint rigidity, and fibrous stiffness is different from bony rigidity. The former remains because the joint space is not completely ossified. A little activity. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.001% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: elbow joint stiffness and fibrous stiffness
Cause
Elbow joint rigidity and fibrosis cause
Elbow fracture (20%):
All fractures involving joints, especially those with intra-articular fractures and poor reduction, are the most common in clinical practice.
Elbow joint trauma (20%):
Improper treatment of the elbow joint after trauma includes long-term fixation of the joint, residual bone in the joint and damage caused by strong activity.
Other factors (20%):
Other factors such as elbow joint infection, muscle, tendon, ligament and joint capsule injury are easy to cause extensive and serious adhesion, followed by calcification and ossification.
Prevention
Elbow joint rigidity and fibrous stiffness prevention
Conservative treatment for patients with fibrous joint stiffness can be tried physical therapy, passive exercise with active and mild techniques, and appropriate treatment with appropriate care, which is effective for early intra-articular adhesions. Do not use strong passive extension and flexion during manual operation.
Complication
Elbow joint rigidity and fibrotic stiffness complications Complications elbow joint stiffness and fibrous stiffness
Joint infections, muscles, tendons, ligaments and joint capsule injuries are likely to cause extensive and severe adhesions, followed by calcification and ossification.
Symptom
Elbow joint stiffness and fibrotic stiffness Symptoms Common joint elbow syndrome Synovial joint fibrosis
The elbow joint can be straightened to any position, with the most flexion position, accounting for 2/3; the extension position is 1/3, which can cause severe elbow joint dysfunction regardless of the position.
1. Individual differences in trauma history are large and should be asked in detail.
2. Clinical manifestations of elbow joints are straight and the range of motion disappears; those with fibrous stiffness may have a slight degree of activity.
3. Imaging examination is mainly based on X-ray plain film, which can show changes in elbow joint fracture and ossifying myositis, which is helpful to analyze the cause of elbow joint rigidity.
