title: Elbow Injuries in Adult Overhead Athletes.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this article is to review common elbow injuries found in overhead athletes with focus on mechanism, clinical features, imaging appearance, and treatment options.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The overhead throwing motion subjects the elbow to a variety of complex forces, which places both osseous and soft-tissue structures at high risk for injury.
