AB A  large  number  of  diagnoses  are  possible  when  a  patient  presents  with  pain  in  the  hand,  wrist,  or  elbow.  However,  a  clinician  can  often  reduce  the  broad  differential  diagnosis  to  either  one  most  likely  possibility  or  a  small  number  of  potential  considerations  by  taking  a  systematic  approach  to  history  and  examination.  When  etiology,  anatomic  location,  and  epidemiology  are  cross-referenced  relative  to  one  another,  the  number  of  possible  diagnoses  narrows  substantially.
