What are some common elbow injuries?
You can injure your elbow in several ways. You might develop a repetitive use injury gradually or sustain an acute injury during a sports or automobile accident. Some common elbow injuries include:
In addition to pain and stiffness, elbow injuries cause swelling, bruising, and deformity. You might also have trouble bending, extending, or twisting your elbow.
Dr. Deo might ask you to bend and extend your arm so she can see how your injury affects your movement. She diagnoses elbow injuries with comprehensive exams and diagnostic testing. She begins by reviewing your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle details. Then she examines your elbow and arm for signs of injury.
In some cases, she uses in-office diagnostic tests, such as Ultrasound or Nerve Conduction Studies, to confirm your diagnosis.
