The elbow is more than a simple hinge. The unique arrangement of bones and tissues allows for a unique pattern of flexion and rotation. Injuries to the elbow are often the result of overuse, falls, or repetitive throwing activities. Our physicians are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of elbow problems.
