This review covers the non-UCL elbow injuries seen in overhead throwing athletes. It explains the biomechanics of the six-phase throwing motion and the valgus extension overload mechanism. It walks through diagnosis and treatment of ulnar neuritis, flexor pronator injury, medial epicondyle apophysitis/avulsion, posterior impingement, olecranon stress fracture, and capitellar osteochondritis dissecans.
