Athletes experience high elbow forces and repetitive motions, leading to various injuries. Proper diagnosis and treatment, from nonoperative to operative methods, are crucial for managing these athletic elbow conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics of Athletic Injuries

Background:

  • Athletes' elbows are subjected to substantial forces and repetitive movements.
  • Common athletic elbow injuries involve ligaments, tendons, articular structures, and nerves.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the diagnostic considerations for athletic elbow injuries.
  • To describe the treatment progression for elbow injuries in athletes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of anatomical structures and pathomechanics of the elbow.
  • Correlation of physical examination findings with injury patterns.
  • Evaluation of nonoperative and operative treatment strategies.

Main Results:

  • Accurate diagnosis depends on understanding elbow anatomy, injury mechanisms, and clinical presentation.
