Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) most commonly involves which tendon?
Answer: Extensor carpi radialis brevis
Lateral epicondylitis primarily involves degenerative changes in the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon at its attachment to the lateral epicondyle.
In the assessment of a frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), which motion is typically lost first?
Answer: External rotation
External rotation is typically the first and most restricted motion in adhesive capsulitis due to the capsular pattern of the glenohumeral joint.
Meralgia paresthetica involves compression of which nerve?
Answer: Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve
Meralgia paresthetica results from compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, typically at the inguinal ligament, causing numbness and tingling in the anterolateral thigh.
