Medial elbow pain is rare and often misdiagnosed. This review focuses on its differential diagnosis and treatment for overhead athletes and heavy lifters.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Elbow Pain Management

Background:

  • Medial elbow pain is less common than lateral elbow pain.
  • Medial epicondylitis is an infrequent diagnosis, often confused with other pain sources.
  • Overhead athletes and individuals performing heavy lifting are at higher risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the differential diagnosis of medial elbow pain.
  • To provide basic treatment recommendations for medial elbow pain.
  • To differentiate medial elbow pain from other conditions in athletes and workers.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on differential diagnosis of medial elbow pain.
  • Analysis of conditions that mimic medial epicondylitis.
Keywords:

  • Compilation of diagnostic criteria and treatment strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • Differential diagnoses include ulnar nerve disorders, cervical radiculopathy, ulnar collateral ligament injuries, and joint abnormalities.
    • Pediatric cases require assessment for Little League elbow and medial epicondyle fractures.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

    Conclusions:

    • Medial elbow pain necessitates a thorough differential diagnosis.
    • Identifying the specific cause is key to successful treatment.
    • This review aids clinicians in managing this uncommon condition.
