ABSTRACT
The elbow is a joint extremely susceptible to stiffness, even after a trivial trauma. As for other joints, several factors can generate stiffness such as immobilisation, joint incongruity, heterotopic ossification, adhesions, or pain. Prolonged joint immobilisation, pursued to assure bony and ligamentous healing, represents the most acknowledged risk factor for joint stiffness. The elbow is a common site of nerve entrapment syndromes. The reasons are multifactorial, but peculiar elbow anatomy and biomechanics play a role. Passing from the arm into the forearm, the ulnar, median, and radial nerves run at the elbow in close rapport with the joint, fibrous arches and through narrow fibro-osseous tunnel. The elbow joint, in fact, has a large range of flexion which exposes nerves lying posterior to the axis of rotation to traction and those anterior to compression.
