1. Elbow Injuries

2. Little League Elbow O Inflammation over medial epicondyle of humerus O Attachment of forearm flexors

3. Medial Epicondylitis O Known as Little League Elbow O MOI – overuse, too many pitches O S&S – pain medial condyle of humerus O TX – ICE and REST

4. Pitch Counts started in 2006

5. Lateral Epicondylitis

6. Lateral Epiconylitis O Known as tennis elbow O Inflammation of the wrist extensors O Pain at the attachment of the lateral epicondyle of the humerus

7. Lateral Epicondylitis O MOI – overuse O S&S – point tender over lateral epicondyle of humerus, swelling, weakness O TX – rest, rest, rest, and ICE, ICE, ICE O Movement causes scar tissue to form, athlete may need ultrasound and NSAIDS to heal.

8. Olecranon Bursitis O MOI – blow or fall tip the elbow O S&S – tons of swelling, loss of ROM O TX – ICE and compression wrap, pad for activity

9. ULNAR NERVE CONTUSION O MOI – direct blow to “funny bone” O Ulnar nerve runs in a groove between the olecranon process and medial epicondyle O S&S – parasthesia down ulnar side of forearm, 4 th -5 th fingers O TX – ice and pad for sport

10. Elbow dislocation O MOI – FOTOSA with elbow locked O Dislocates POSTERIORLY O Fracture common with dislocation O S&S – obvious deformity, loss ROM O TX – ice, sling, hospital to be reduced

11. ELBOW DISLOCATION

12. Elbow hyperextension O Hypermobility of elbow O Females tends to have natural hyperextension O Damage to ligaments, bones, tendons surrounding the elbow

13. Elbow hyperextension O MOI – posterior force when are is fixed, FOTOSA O S&S – pain, muscle spasm, swelling, and loss of strength O TX – RICE, splint, surgery for fractures and complete tears

14. Elbow Sprains O MOI – medial or lateral force upon elbow while elbow is fixed. O Tear of ulnar or radial collateral ligaments O RICE, surgery for 3 rd degree

15. Ruptured biceps (tendonitis) O Can occur at the proximal ( shoulder) or distal (elbow) insertion O Ice, rest, ultrasound, NSAID, surgery for 3 rd degree tears O Torn distal bicep tendon ( steroids)

16. Fractures O MOI – sudden force to arm - FOTOSA or severe torsion force

17. Fractured Humerus

18. Spiral fracture of humerus MOI: torsion from throwing a dodge ball in physical education class

19. Fractured ulna and radius( false joint)

20. Fractured ulna and radius

21. Fractured growth plate – base 1 st metacarpal

22. Plates and screws to improve healing process

23. External fixation

24. External Fixation
