Özet
This chapter introduces the kinesiology of the elbow joint both in normal and pathologic conditions. It starts by presenting a detailed anatomy and biomechanics of elbow joint. The forearm complex is also included in the chapter with its important pronation-supination movement and load transmission activity of interosseous membrane. The stability philosophy of elbow joint is explained, and the instability patterns are presented. The kinesiology of common disorders of elbow joint is comprehended as acute elbow trauma, sequela of elbow trauma, and elbow injuries in the athletes. To simplify understanding, the other disorders are classified as medial, lateral, posterior, and anterior elbow injuries. The pathomechanics of injuries and kinesiology during injured conditions are discussed in a clinical view.
