“…43,44 Biomechanical studies examining strain on the UCL have differed in their results. Some authors recommend that only osteophytes should be resected because any further resection may lead to greater valgus laxity and cause overhead athletes to be more susceptible to UCL injury.…”

“…Some authors recommend that only osteophytes should be resected because any further resection may lead to greater valgus laxity and cause overhead athletes to be more susceptible to UCL injury. 43,46 CONCLUSION Medial elbow pain in the overhead athlete is a direct result of the unique forces imparted on the elbow during throwing. Kamineni et al 45 reported that the anterior bundle of the medial collateral ligament experienced greater strain with resection greater than or equal to 6 mm.…”

This review aims to cover the anatomy, mechanics, injury mechanism, physical examination, imaging, diagnosis and treatment of medial elbow pain in overhead athletes. Due to the repetitive valgus stress overhead athletes place on their elbows, they are susceptible to common causes of medial elbow pain. These include ulnar collateral ligament tears, ulnar neuritis, medial epicondyle apophysitis or avulsion fractures, flexorpronator muscle strains or tendinitis, and valgus extension overload syndrome. With a more detailed knowledge of the injury mechanisms and up-to-date treatment options for these patients, physicians will be able to prevent and better treat medial elbow pain in overhead athletes.

“…[ 3 ] Its injury usually results from a valgus force and leads to medial instability, heterotopic ossification (HO) formation, and reduced elbow performance score, especially in elbow stiffness. [ 4 ] Worse still, the persistent instable state eventually causes ulnar nerve irritation and irreversible motor and sensory loss. [ 5 ] Therefore, it is very important and urgent to restore normal medial collateral ligament (MCL) structure and elbow stability.…”
