Treating Repetitive-Motion Injuries in the Elbow

Overuse injuries are notably problematic for the clinician, in that injuries are usually insidious in onset and more difficult to diagnose. This study reviews the skeletal, ligamentous, muscular/tendinous, and nerve damage that results from repetitive-motion injuries involving the elbow joint.

Pathomechanics and symptoms are addressed to aid in designing appropriate treatment plans. Included is a discussion of:

little-league elbow;

fractures of the medial epicondyle;

osteochondritis dissecans;

posterior-compartment osteophytes;

lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow);

friction/ulnar neuritis.
