Abstract

Purpose: Understanding elbow biomechanics is necessary to understand the pathophysiologic mechanism of elbow injury and to provide a scientific basis for clinical practice. This article provides a summary of key concepts that are relevant to understanding common elbow injuries and their management. Materials and Methods: The biomechanics of the elbow joint can be divided into kinematics, stability and force transmission through the elbow joint. Active and passive stabilizers include bony articular geometry; soft tissues provide joint stability, compression force and motion. Results and Conclusion: Knowledge of elbow biomechanics will help (i) advance surgical procedures and trauma management, (ii) develop new elbow prostheses and (iii) stimulate future research.

목적: 주관절의 생역학은 주관절 손상의 병인을 이해하고 임상적 치료의 과학적 기초를 제공하는 의학이다. 저자는 생역학적인 관점에서 주관절 손상의 진단과 치료의 개념을 요약하였다. 대상 및 방법: 주관절 역학은 크게 운동학, 동역학 그리고 이를 바탕으로 한 안정성의 분야로 나누어 설명할 수 있다. 이는 주관절을 구성하는 수동적 또는 능동적 구조물로 유지된다. 수동적 구조물은 골성 구조와 관절낭 및 측부인대들이 있으며 능동적 구조물은 주관절을 둘러싼 근육들이 해당된다. 이 구조물들이 유기적으로 작용하여 주관절의 안정성, 힘의 전달 그리고 운동을 유지한다. 결과 및 결론: 주관절의 생역학은 주관절 손상에 대한 수술적 치료에 대한 정보를 제공하며 새로운 주관절 인공대치물에 대한 개선 및 발전을 가져다 주며, 또한 주관절의 기초 연구에 기여 할 수 있는 학문이다.
