Elbow Injuries

Elbows are primarily hinge joint which allow for a small amount of glide to take place between ulnar and radius.

Injuries to the elbow are classic in golfers and tennis players with the labels “golfers elbow” and “tennis elbow” respectively.  The repetitive impact of racket sports places stress through the tendons of elbow creating tendinopathy.  In the case of the budding sportsman who has this injury reoccur then further examination of the entire kinematic chain is made to determine where dysfunction in another location could be causing undue stress on the elbow.

Although common in sports elbow issues can also arise in people who have manoeuvred wrong or done a lot of repetitive lifting such as ironing or housework.  In those people who have this injury present in both elbows there may be an inflammatory process that needs further investigation.
