“…Titanium implants are preferred in case postoperative MRI is considered. Paci et al [67] reported particularly good outcomes and a high rate of success using screw fixation for refractory olecranon stress fractures in a series of 18 baseball athletes. Players were able to return to sport and perform at or above their former level of activity.…”

“…Olecranon stress fractures (OSF) remain rare even in the athlete population. Athletes at risk include gymnasts and athletes who engage in overhead activities, like baseball players, javelin throwers, and weight lifters [67]. Characteristics of olecranon stress fractures are largely dependent on the age of patients and, even more so, the status of the physis.…”

“…Because of its atypical clinical presentation with unusual posterior elbow pain and no significant radiographic findings, the diagnosis of OSF is sometimes difficult [67]. Specific examination maneuvers such as the snapping extension test and the arm bar test may be useful to support the diagnosis.…”

Purpose of Review The purposes of this review are to discuss the management of shoulder and elbow fractures in athletes to optimize the return to sport and to highlight treatment impact on the return to play. Recent findings Fractures of the shoulder and elbow can have profound implications in an athlete career. Recent technique of fractures management trended toward to preserve soft tissue which is critical for an early recovery in athletic population. Arthroscopy presents a strong interest for the treatment of intra-articular fracture, and minimally invasive approach as developed in humeral shaft fracture can be considered to avoid soft tissue damage. Summary Non-articular, stable, and minimally displaced fractures are mainly treated conservatively. However, we encourage a more aggressive approach in shoulder and elbow injuries in the athletes including minimally invasive and stable fixation to preserve vascularity and muscle environment.

“…15 Transverse fractures are more likely to result from repetitive triceps strain (ie, from weightlifting), whereas oblique fractures are more likely to result from valgus overload (ie, from throwing). Occasionally, fragmentation or sclerosis may also be noted, and films should be compared with the contralateral, unaffected side.…”

Elbow injuries in pediatric and adolescent population represent a spectrum of pathology that can range from medial tension injuries to posterior shear injuries. Elbow injuries in this population continue to rise in parallel with the increase in youth participation in sports both throughout the calendar year and across multiple sports. Many of these injuries are noncontact and are attributed to overuse. Evaluation and management of youth and adolescent athletic elbow injuries requires knowledge of developmental anatomy, injury pathophysiology, and established treatment algorithms. Furthermore, risk factors contributing to elbow injuries must be recognized, with education and recommendations for safe play continually advocated. This education--of parents, athletes, and coaches--is paramount in reducing the climbing incidence of elbow injuries in our youth athletes.

The overhead athlete is defined as an athlete who uses his/her hand in an overhead position. The motion in the overhead athlete is a highly skilled movement performed at extremely high velocity, which requires flexibility, muscular strength, coordination, synchronicity, and neuromuscular control of the whole body. In this overview, we will discuss the most common pathologies seen at the posterior side of the elbow such as posteromedial impingement, proximal ulnar stress fractures, and triceps pathology. Specific nonsurgical and operative treatment guidelines for the overhead athlete's elbow are also discussed.
