Medial elbow injury in young throwing athletes.
This report reviews the anatomy, overhead throwing biomechanics, injury mechanism and incidence, physical examination and diagnosis, diagnostic imaging and conservative treatment of medial elbow injuries in young throwing athletes. Based on the information a clinical management decision-making algorithm is presented.
متن کاملElbow Pain and Injury in Young Athletes
Elbow pain and injury in young athletes include both acute traumatic and chronic overuse injuries. The anatomy of the developing pediatric elbow and the rapid growth of youth sports have led to an increase in chronic repetitive stress elbow injuries in the pediatric population. These injuries occur mostly in overhead athletes, throwers, and gymnasts. Force dissipation during throwing or axial l...
متن کاملMedial elbow problems in the overhead-throwing athlete.
The elbow is subjected to enormous valgus stresses during the throwing motion, which places the overhead-throwing athlete at considerable risk for injury. Injuries involving the structures of the medial elbow occur in distinct patterns. Although acute injuries of the medial elbow can occur, the majority are overuse injuries as a result of the repetitive forces imparted to the elbow by throwing....
متن کاملAT: The Bony Tommy John Injury – Medial Epicondyle Fractures in Throwing Athletes
The optimal method of treatment for medial humeral epicondyle fractures in pediatric patients is still controversial. This injury can occur due to excessive valgus stress placed on the elbow by the pronator muscle mass that have a common point of origin at the medial epicondyle. In throwing athletes such as baseball pitchers this can occur during a pitch. Non-operative as well as operative mana...
متن کاملDiagnosis and treatment of distal biceps and anterior elbow pain in throwing athletes.
Despite the activity of the musculature around the elbow and the high angular velocity and stresses, distal biceps tendon injury is rare in the overhead athlete. The biomechanics of the throwing motion and electromyographic studies of the elbow provide useful clues as to why the biceps stays relatively healthy. Anterior elbow complaints are not uncommon in this population and can easily be mist...
