Purpose Of Review: Radiohumeral synovial plicae (RHSP) have been studied by different authors in different ways; in spite of this, the evidence is poor and the results are controversial and inconclusive even when it comes to referring to this elbow structure. The aim of this article is to review the embryologic development, anatomy and histology, pathophysiologic features, clinical manifestations, physical examination, imaging findings, and treatment of radiohumeral synovial plicae, for their correct clinical interpretation in patients with intractable lateral epicondylitis.
Recent Findings: Radiohumeral synovial plicae syndrome (RHSPS) can cause intractable lateral epicondylitis and can be easily confused with other clinical conditions affecting the elbow.
Article Synopsis
- Medial pinning for supracondylar fractures (SHF) is controversial due to the risk of ulnar nerve injury, which prompted this study.
- The study involved 15 children, utilizing ultrasound imaging during surgery to guide pin insertion and avoid nerve damage.
- Results indicated successful identification of the ulnar nerve anatomy with no instances of nerve dysfunction, suggesting that ultrasound can effectively enhance the safety of medial pinning in pediatric cases.
