ABSTRACT
Elbow injuries due to overuse are common in sports such as tennis, badminton, baseball, golf, javelin throwing, handball, etc. These injuries usually occur during throwing movements and they are often more chronic in nature. In falling or body contact in sports such as football/soccer, hockey, etc. the injury becomes more of an acute nature and usually requires emergency treatment. The chronic injuries can often be difficult to deal with and healing can take a long time before the athlete can return to full sporting activity at the same level as before the injury.
