Attendees will gain a detailed understanding of posterior elbow joint innervation and its clinical implications. This presentation highlights the articular branches innervating each portion of the posterior elbow joint, their course, capsular distribution, frequency, and spatial relationships to key anatomical landmarks. After this session, attendees will be able to explore and discuss clinical applications of the newly acquired 3D anatomical knowledge in minimally invasive pain relief procedures such as ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation.

Learning Objectives:

List the articular branches innervating each portion of the posterior elbow joint and visualize their spatial relationships to the elbow joint capsule and bony and soft tissue landmarks.
Describe the course, capsular distribution, and frequency of each of the articular branches innervating the posterior elbow joint.
Explore and discuss clinical applications of newly acquired 3D anatomical knowledge in minimally invasive pain relief procedures.
