Varus Stress
Varus stress is the tension created in the soft tissues of the lateral compartment of the elbow by varus torque and varus force.
The majority of varus stress is expressed in the radial collateral ligament, but the stress is shared with the brachialis and biceps brachii muscles, as well as the forearm extensors to a lesser extent.
See also: valgus stress.
