Episode Details

Returning guest expert Dr Ted Parks helps us get the elbow straight with a simple approach to common causes of elbow pain for primary care.  Listen as he guides Stuart through physical exam techniques (or watch them on YouTube) for epicondylitis and learn what the bursa is there for anyways. Find out what fracture you can treat in your office, why you shouldn’t stab straight into the olecranon bursa and when elbow pain should be referred.  Feel confident when your patient comes in with elbow pain!
