According to Lasky, Tommy John surgery mends a damaged elbow ligament (1). Tommy John injuries are also known as ulnar collateral ligament (UCL). Tommy John injuries happen when a patient, frequently a baseball player, has recurring stress to the elbow. Baseball pitchers are more apt to get Tommy John injuries because of the repetitive motion of pitching the ball.

The more proximal the amputation, the greater the muscular covering of these two bones. The more distal the amputation, the more irregular the shape, for the radius and ulna are relatively more exposed (Blair, Clowers & Stolov, 2007). d.…

do is admit your condition” (Elbow 145). When beginning to write a piece it is best to get all of the information out there and put pen to paper. He shares that it does not matter how these initial thoughts are organized or expressed, just that they are written.

joints and muscles. Shoulder and elbow are two of the joints that are involved in the movement. Of the six phases of pitching, arm cocking, acceleration and deceleration are the three phases when elbow and shoulder joints experience high magnitudes of forces (Oyama 83). Windup is the phase that occurs when the pitcher places the non-throwing hand is in front of the target. In the beginning of the arm cocking phase, the non-throwing shoulder is abducted and it’s elbow extends. The deltoid muscle…

were 11female and 4 male patients, were aged 20 to 48 years (mean of 35 years), with dominant right hand side involved in 3 and non dominant left involved in 12 patients. All fractures were closed and had occurred following a fall onto the flexed elbow in six or with the outstretched hand in nine patients. Distal neurovascular examination of the limb was normal. All patients underwent plain radiographs (Anteroposterior and Lateral) and CT scan with 3-D reconstructions was done in doubtful,…

Pain and tenderness in the upper lateral aspect of the right forearm, following the 17-year-old male’s practice, can be diagnosed as Lateral Epicondylitis, otherwise known as Tennis elbow. Specific actions causing lateral epicondylitis in this patient include the repetitive actions of a backhand stroke in tennis as well as the bending back of the wrist against the resistance of the tennis racket and ball in which causes a repetitive strain (Jariwala A. et al 2012). Pain and discomfort is felt…
