Managing Traumatic Elbow Injuries

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the management of acute traumatic elbow injuries in football players. The speaker provides an overview of the epidemiology, anatomy, injury types, and management of such injuries. Elbow hyperextension is the most common injury, followed by medial and lateral elbow sprains. Elbow fractures are uncommon. Elbow instability can occur and may require reduction. Severe valgus load injuries and biceps and triceps injuries are also discussed. Surgical and non-surgical management options are explored, and the prognosis for return to play is generally good.
