What is the primary ligament that resists valgus force at the elbow?
Annular Ligament
Radial collateral ligament
Ulnar collateral ligament
Interosseous membrane
Which elbow joint allows for both flexion/extension and pronation/supination?
Humeroulnar
Humeroradial
Distal radioulnar
Proximal radioulnar
Which muscle is responsible for true flexion of the elbow and does not assist in supination?
Biceps brachii
Brachialis
Brachioradialis
Anconeus
The most important stabilizing structure on the lateral side of the elbow is:
Annular ligament
Lateral ulnar collateral ligament
Accessory lateral collateral ligament
Radial collateral ligament
Which nerve innervates most of the wrist flexors and both pronator muscles?
Median Nerve
Ulnar Nerve
Radial Nerve
Axillary Nerve
Which ligament encircles the radial head and allows for pronation and supination?
Radial collateral ligament
Ulnar collateral ligament
Lateral ulnar collateral ligament
Annular ligament
Which muscle is commonly called the “beer drinking muscle” due to its role in elbow flexion
Brachialis
Brachioradialis
Biceps brachii
Anconeus
What is the close-packed position of the elbow?
10-20° and 60-90°
Full extension
30-45° and >120°
0–20° and >120°
Match the muscle to its main action
Brachialis
Elbow Flexion
Triceps
Elbow extension
Supinator
Supination
Biceps Brachii
Elbow flexion and supination
Anconeus
Terminal Elbow Extension
Categorize the following structures by anatomical region
Cubital Fossa
Pronator Teres
Olecranon Process
ulnar collateral ligament
Medial Epicondyle
Triceps
Lateral Epicondyle
Radial collateral ligament
What is considered a normal carrying angle for males?
11-14 degrees
10-15 degrees
Males don't have carrying angles
13-16 degrees
0-5 degrees
An acute injury to the posterior aspect of the elbow caused by a direct impact can cause swelling around the (a) making it impossible to see the olecranon.
Match the following ROM to its normal range (degrees)
Elbow Flexion
0-150
Elbow Extension
0
Forearm Pronation
0- 90
Forearm Supination
0-90
Match the end feel to the PROM
Elbow Flexion
Elbow Extension
Pronation- Proximal Radioulnar joint
Pronation- Distal Radioulnar Joint
Supination- proximal radioulnar joint
Supination- Distal Radioulnar joint
Where is the AXIS located when assessing Elbow Flexion/Extension ROM?
Lateral Epicondyle of the Humerus
Medial Epicondyle of the Humerus
Lateral Midline of the Humerus
Lateral Midline of the Radius
Where is the STATIONARY ARM located when assessing supination/pronation ROM?
Medial to ulnar styloid process
Parallel to humerus
Across the palm of the hand
Medial to radial styloid process
How is a patient positioned when testing strength of the supinator/pronator muscles?
Sitting with elbow flexed to 90° in and forearm neutral
Sitting with elbow flexed to 90° in and forearm supinated
Sitting with elbow flexed to 90° in and forearm pronated
Prone with shoulder/elbow off of the edge of the table

(a)
