This is because the elbow actually comprises three separate joints that fit extremely well together, and is in close proximity to a host of soft tissue structures. Causes of stiff elbowPost-injury stiffness: The most common cause in our population is post-injury stiffness of the elbow. Other diseases: A stiff elbow joint can also arise due to other diseases like infection and auto-inflammatory conditions (e.g, rheumatoid arthritis). Congenital problems: Certain congenital problems may also present with elbow stiffness. Stiff elbow risk factorsProlonged immobilisation: Patients with prolonged immobilisation of the elbow joint due to injury or illness are at highest risk of developing elbow stiffness. Damage to joint: Diseases like infection that lead to damage of the joint surface (also known as the articular cartilage) also predispose to elbow stiffness. Stiff elbow symptomsYou will experience limited range of motion in the elbow when bending the elbow, and sometimes in forearm rotation as well. Pain may or may not be an associated symptom depending on the underlying problem. Stiff elbow diagnosisYou should seek medical treatment when you sustain injuries to the elbow that result in severe pain and swelling. Often, seeking traditional forms of treatment without prior evaluation with x-rays to exclude fractures, can lead to long term damage of the elbow joint, pain and stiffness. If you experience spontaneous onset of elbow pain without any prior history of trauma, you should seek medical advice to rule out any serious elbow disease, as delays in treatment may lead to a poorer outcome.
