Elbow medial collateral ligament sprain occurs when the elbow is subjected to a valgus force exceeding the tensile properties of the medial collateral ligament (MCL). This is an injury seen more often in throwing athletes. Understanding the differential diagnosis of medial elbow pain is paramount to diagnose MCL injury as well as addressing other medial elbow pathology. A natural evolution rega...

Ulnar Collateral Ligament Tears of the Elbow

Radial Collateral Ligament of the Elbow

ateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, is the most common cause of lateral elbow pain and can be a major cause of symptoms and debilitation.1 The term “lateral epicondylitis” is a misnomer, in that the abnormality causing tennis elbow is degeneration and a possible tear of the common extensor tendon (CET) at or near its humeral origin.2 Histologic studies have shown that there is no significant...
