Elbow Injury

Elbow injury is common with overhead throwing athletes, such as baseball and softball, as well as with racquet sports like tennis and racquetball.

While these sports are the most common causes of elbow injuries, the elbow is susceptible to injury with just about any type of athletic activity.

The most common types of elbow injuries are chronic, overuse injuries such as tendonitis and bursitis.

Acute ligament ruptures can also occur, however, these are not as common.

Below you will find links to some of the most common types.
