The phrase "acute elbow" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in medical contexts to describe a specific type of elbow condition or injury characterized by sharp pain or inflammation.
Example: "The patient was diagnosed with an acute elbow condition that required immediate treatment."
Alternatives: "sharp elbow pain" or "severe elbow injury".
Clinical Features: The patient had bilateral acute elbow pain and a previous history of more than 35 fractures of the spine and extremities.
Successful treatment of chronic elbow dislocations remains a challenge, and treatment of acute elbow dislocations, including skilled examination and assessment of elbow instability should be performed by experienced personnel to avoid this painful and disabling complication.
Participants 2127 adults and children presenting to the emergency department with acute elbow injury.
An effective clinical decision rule to exclude fracture in acute elbow injury would prevent unnecessary radiography, and could reduce expenditure.
The test was able to rule out a fracture and the need for radiography in about a quarter of patients presenting with acute elbow injury.
Five patients had acute injuries: three were acute elbow dislocations with radial head and coronoid fractures that proved unstable when placed in flexion after repair or had redislocated after repair.
While earlier trials have either compared corticosteroid injections to physical therapy or to naproxen orally, we will compare the clinical effect of physiotherapy alone or physiotherapy combined with corticosteroid injection in the initial treatment of acute tennis elbow.
Inclusion criteria were acute traumatic elbow instability not manageable with immobilization in flexion, persistent instability of a terrible triad injury after surgical repair, the need to neutralize tenuous fixation of an unstable coronoid fracture, and elbow instability resulting from the surgical release of a fused elbow.
In a double-blinded RCT, Lin et al. compared botulinum type A to corticosteroid injection for the treatment of acute and subacute tennis elbow of 16 patients with 19 affected elbows.
In practice, therefore, adults who could fully extend their elbow after acute injury had a 1.6%95%5% confidence interval 0.5 to 3.7) chance of fracture.
