Elbow

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) represents a spectrum of injuries to the tendons that attach on the outside of the elbow. The tendon can be inflamed for even partially torn.

Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis) represents a spectrum of injuries to the tendons that attach on the inside of the elbow. These tendons could be inflamed or even partially torn.

A Biceps Tear is a term commonly used to describe an injury to the distal biceps tendon at the elbow. This tendon helps bend the arm and turn the forearm.

An injury to the ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow can occur with repetitive throwing or with trauma. This results in a tear of the ligament that stabilizes the inside of the elbow, and this area is under significant stress during a throwing motion.

A fracture or break of the elbow often occurs with an injury. This can represent an injury to the ulna, the radius and/or the humerus bone. The fracture may also be associated with a dislocation of the elbow joint.
