Elbow Exam - Orthopaedic OSCE - Clinical Skills - Dr Gill

The elbow examination is a core skill - in this video, we demonstrate how to perform an elbow EXAM for an Orthopaedic Clinical Skills OSCE, which should be one of the more accessible examination stations for medical students.

For a passing grade in your Clinical Skills OSCE, an elbow assessment should follow the LOOK, FEEL, MOVE approach

Initially looking for erythema, scars, swelling and position

Palpating the elbow - specifically the olecranon, medial and lateral epicondyles, and radial head for heat, oedema and crepitus

Finally assess range of movement with flexion and extension at the elbow, before determining for tennis and golfers' elbows

Watch further orthopaedic examinations for your OSCE revision:

The Elbow - Deep Dive

The Spine Examination:

The Knee examination

The Hip examination

The GALS examination

------------

Please note that there is no ABSOLUTE way to perform a clinical examination. Different institutions and even clinicians will have differing degrees of variations - the aim is the effectively identify medically relevant signs.

However during OSCE assessments. Different medical schools, nursing colleges and other health professional courses will have their own preferred approach to a clinical assessment - you should concentrate on THEIR marks schemes for your assessments.

The examination demonstrated here is derived from Macleods Clinical Examination - a recognised standard textbook for clinical skills.

One day we'll find out who it is that has been asking Dr. Gill to perform all these examinations.

[nightone]

Oh my gosh, she is so lucky. She got to listen to his voice in person while he performs his examination. Dr. Gill heals people with his voice alone.

Dr. Gill, while this video is great as an OSCE exam, I would love a long-format video where you take the time to explain what you are looking and palpating for during each step. For example, why palpate the epicondyle? Is this a location prone tendon or ligament pain? If so, what are the common causes? …that sort of thing.

[andrevieira]

I can see he puts a lot of *elbow grease* when doing these videos

[XX-gyue]

how can a voice, and incredible manners, make elbows so interesting, and here it is !

[gareth]

If Elbows Didn't Bend...
They would have no point!

Keep up the good work Dr Gill!
Would love to see a deep dive of the elbow!

[stu_jam]

Dr Gill has eyes of steel. I salute you sir 🫡

[arielduarteramirez]

Alguien mas siente que estos videos, y la voz del doc, son como un somnífero y un tranquilizante natural??? Amo

[MrRoqui]

Dr Gill always hits the ASMR target 🎯 with his best elBow and marrow technique

[greasydad]

She seems more comfortable on camera good for Megan! Less chaotic but I kinda liked it

[ethangooding]

Watching this with Netflix in the background. Had an absolute brain melt and started hearing your voice twice. Look up to see you on The Island with Bear Grylls, I was confused for a good 15 minutes 😂

[lorezampadeferro]

Always interesting and informative but the best feeling is the extreme relax those videos give me
Thank You

[kdguro]

The legend is back! Ok maybe you never ‘left’. But I’m back…watching your videos! Smooth as ever, Doc!

[dashwerm]

Are you going to follow up with a deep dive video for the elbow? The knee one was super interesting

[tanksoldier]

Best if all, this table remained intact…. Can’t wait for the deep dive.

[antm]

Great video! Would be good to add a twist onto a future video if you get the newly qualified Dr Abbie to examine you Dr Gill!

[davyyyy]

Hora de assistir videos feitos com intuito de educar como forma de relaxamento

[leme]
