Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Abnormally shaped olecranon bones can prevent full elbow extension, leading to disability. This study highlights three cases of such anatomical variations causing functional limitations.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Human Anatomy
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Elbow joint function relies on the congruent articulation of the olecranon process with the distal humerus.
  • Normal elbow extension requires adequate space within the olecranon fossa of the humerus.
  • Anatomical variations can disrupt joint mechanics and lead to functional deficits.
