Elbows are often a risk area for gymnasts

Elbows end up taking a lot of stress and load in gymnastics. This puts then at risk for injury.

“Overuse injuries of the elbow are common in gymnastics and include osteochondritis dissecans of the capitellum, radiocapitellar plica syndrome, and newly described radial head stress fractures. A thorough understanding of the psychological, cultural, and biomechanical aspects of gymnastics are necessary to care for these athletes.”

Prevention and thorough rehabilitation are of paramount importance for this area of the body.
