The carrying angle (10 degrees in men, 15 degrees in women)

Posteriorly the olecranon - (bursitis)

The resting angle

• Increased elbow flexion caused by tight biceps

• Cervical position protraction / retraction could indicate a central involvement.

Lateral & Medial Epicondyle

The Olecranon

Palpate the lateral epicondyle with your fingers, and move distally until they rest into a depression, just inferior to the lateral epicondyle. Keep moving slowly distal until you feel a bony mass, keep your fingers on this whilst you actively pronate and supinate your forearm. You should be able to feel the roll of the radial head under your fingers.

The wrist flexors all share a common origin; the medial epicondyle, whilst the extensors all share the lateral epicondyle. 

End Feel: Normally Soft

Limited by:

• Soft tissue approximation 

• Coronoid process against Coronoid fossa

• radial head against radial fossa

• Post capsule

• Triceps 

End Feel: Normally Hard

Limited by: Olecranon process against olec. fossa

End Feel:  Supination Firm Pronation Hard

Limited by: Supination Anterior radioulnar lig. Pronation bones of the forearm (radius crossing over ulna) tension of Ulnar collateral lig. of the elbow and the dorsal radioulnar ligament of the distal radioulnar joint
