AB Serving  as  the  link  between  the  powerful  movements  of  the  shoulder  and  the  fine  motor  control  of  the  hand,  the  elbow  is  often  overlooked  as  an  area  of  potentially  disabling  injury.  Even  minor  injuries  to  the  elbow  can  severely  hamper  the  ability  to  perform  the  most  rudimentary  movements.  Fractures  or  other  trauma  involving  the  elbow  or  forearm  can  result  in  impairment  of  the  neurovascular  structures  supplying  the  wrist,  hand,  and  fingers.  Additionally,  pathology  at  the  shoulder  can  influence  movement  patterns  and  stresses  at  the  elbow.  Therefore,  examination  of  the  elbow  and  forearm  is  often  expanded  to  include  the  hand  and  shoulder.
