Rehabilitation and Return to Sport Following Elbow Injuries. Arthroscopy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation Lin, K. M., Ellenbecker, T. S., Safran, M. R. 2022; 4 (3): e1245-e1251

Abstract

Elbow injuries are frequently seen in throwing and overhead athletes. This review provides a framework for diagnosis, treatment, and particularly rehabilitation of common elbow pathologies, including ulnar collateral ligament injury, valgus extension overload, and medial and lateral epicondylitis. Advanced rehabilitation facilitates complete return to functional sport-specific activity and is based on objective criteria. As diagnostic and therapeutic modalities improve our understanding of elbow pathologies in the athletic patient, continued research will further elucidate objective evidence-based rehabilitation techniques.
