Non-traumatic Medial-Sided Elbow Pain: A Comprehensive Review of Etiologies, Diagnostic Strategies, and Treatment Approaches
Medial elbow pain is a rare and often underrecognized condition. In non-traumatic cases, such as medial epicondylitis (ME), ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury, cubital tunnel syndrome, snapping medial triceps, and posteromedial impingement, the clinical presentations are often similar, making diagnosis challenging. This narrative review aims to synthesize current evidence regarding the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies for non-traumatic medial elbow pain.
Traumatic Versus Atraumatic Causes of Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: A Systematic Review of Pathophysiology and Outcomes
Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) is a common musculoskeletal disorder caused by traumatic or atraumatic factors, resulting in pain, functional limitation, and reduced quality of life. This systematic review aimed to summarize the pathophysiology, anatomical changes, and functional outcomes of traumatic versus atraumatic SIS.
5 Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome You Should Know
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition that develops when the median nerve—a major nerve that controls movement and sensation in the hand and fingers—becomes compressed or pinched. Specifically, this nerve supplies sensations to your thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers. As a result, you can experience symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and fingers.
