Abstract

Pain on the medial aspect of the elbow can be a source of disability. The focus of the chapter is to provide the required knowledge to correctly diagnose patients with medial elbow pain. Since several etiologies may coexist, the emphasis on correct diagnostic strategies is provided. Ulnar collateral ligament injuries, snapping triceps, medial epicondylitis, and ulnar nerve pathology are presented with key features of clinical exam, diagnostic tests, and current aspects of treatment.
