The Elbow

Lesion of the Brachioradialis

Occurence

Lesions of the brachioradialis muscle are very uncommon.

Pain at the volar aspect of the elbow during resisted flexion is usually the result of a lesion of the biceps or (rarely) the brachialis.
An accessory test may prove necessary to differentiate between the two.

Localisations

Delayed muscle soreness sometimes appears 12-24 hours after intense exercise.It disappears spontaneously after a couple of days.

A teno-periosteal tendinitis at the level of the lateral margin of the humerus responds very well to an infiltration with triamcinolone.
