Tennis Elbow Causes and Treatments Listed in Early Guide
An early medical overview describes tennis elbow as a painful overuse injury of the elbow from vigorous arm activity. It notes misdiagnosis with arthritis, outlines rest, diathermy, and immobilization, mentions potential surgery after months of neglect, and warns that elbow dislocations are common in children and linked to falls on an outstretched arm.
X ray guidance for elbow injuries in children
Dr. Herman N Bundesen explains X rays are often needed to confirm diagnosis and guide treatment of elbow injuries. They help assess fractures after injury, ensure bones are realigned, and determine if anesthesia is required before reduction. A splint or cast is used for about two weeks, then reapplied as healing proceeds. Even with cast, swelling may conceal a fracture, so X rays remain advised. Sprain injuries may involve elbow joint, and X rays help rule out hidden damage.
