Throwing Injuries of the Elbow & Shoulder
Throwing injuries of the elbow and shoulders are common among athletes who participate in sports that involve repetitive overhead motions, such as baseball, softball, tennis, and javelin. These injuries can affect the bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles of the arm and cause pain, inflammation, instability, and loss of function.
