Elbow Conditions
Elbow conditions refer to various injuries or disorders affecting the elbow joint, which connects the humerus in the upper arm to the radius and ulna in the forearm. Common conditions include tennis elbow, characterized by pain on the outer elbow, and golfer's elbow, which affects the inner elbow. These conditions often result from repetitive motions or overuse.
Other elbow issues can include bursitis, inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joint, and tendonitis, which involves inflammation of the tendons. Symptoms typically include pain, swelling, and limited range of motion, impacting daily activities and sports.
