Abstract
Elbow pain is a frequent clinical complaint in baseball pitchers. The possible etiology of this discomfort is varied and includes epiphyseal injuries, medial collateral ligament strains, osteochondritis, epicondylitis, and ulnar neuropathy. Conservative measures comprise the initial treatment regimens used for these diagnoses. Surgical intervention is occasionally required, and should be directed toward a specific region of suspected pathology. A recent case of ulnar neuritis in the throwing arm of a baseball pitcher emphasized the need for an accurate physical examination and knowledge of surgical anatomy. Verf.-Referat
