Abstract
The treatment of elbow injuries necessitates establishment of a proper diagnosis. An understanding of anatomic relationships serves as the basis for clinical evaluation. The history must ascertain the details of specific injury as well as identify intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors. Physical examination includes inspection, range of motion testing, palpation, provocative testing, and neuromuscular testing. Radiologic and ancillary testing supplement the clinical evaluation.
