What Is Stiff Elbow?

The elbow is a joint that is easily complicated by stiffness after injury or disease. 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 elbow

Post-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 factors

Prolonged 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 symptoms

You 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 diagnosis

You 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.
