Athlete's Elbow: Surgery and Rehabilitation


In this reference for sports medicine practitioners, 17 contributions discuss the treatment of elbow injuries in athletes. Altchek (orthopedic surgery, Cornell U.), Andrews (orthopedic surgery, U. of Alabama, Birmingham) and other clinicians consider conditions such as medial collateral ligament injuries, posterior interosseous nerve compression, and acute and chronic elbow dislocation and associated fractures. Techniques described include, for example, open and arthroscopic treatment of lateral tendon injury, the removal of loose bodies and spurs in the elbow, elbow injury in the adolescent athlete, and rehabilitation of the athlete's elbow.
