Abstract

Pediatric elbow injuries that result from repetitive throwing-type activities are common. These injuries differ from those seen in adults, because of anatomic differences. The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to review the anatomy of the elbow and the mechanics of the throwing motion about the elbow, and second, to discuss the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention of pediatric throwing injuries of the elbow.
