Chronic Medial Elbow Instability

Chronic medial elbow instability can be a debilitating problem for the throwing athlete. It affects non-throwers much less commonly regarding activities of daily living. Instability can occur as a result of repetitive microtrauma over a long period of time or as a result of a single traumatic event. If left untreated, the resulting sequelae can lead to chronic pain, ulnar neuritis, and inability to compete/work.
