The subjects were the men's elementary and junior high of 166 baseball players (11.4 ± 2.0 years) who participated in the medical check of the off-season. Lesions of the elbow joint were assessed using ultrasound system. Tenderness inspection was performed on medial epicondyle and the humerus capitellum.Which test is the case of a positive as a group of disorders, and the other was a non-disabled group. It was measured the physical function of the 20 items in order to examine the relationship between baseball elbow lesion. It was performed univariate analysis between the two groups

There have been surveys taken to show the relation of elbow and shoulder injuries and pitching. Statistics taken describe (1) the proportion of pitchers with a history of pitching related upper-extremity injury (2) proportion of pitchers with w history of pitching related elbow and shoulder injury that was treated through surgery (3)types of upper-extremity injuries sustained by pitchers and (4) types of upper extremity injuries sustained by a certain age category around the same time of injury.
Millions of people across the United States suffer from either Bursitis or a rotator cuff injury every year. Although sometimes the two can be misconceived, they are very different in all actuality. Bursitis is the inflammation or irritation of the bursa. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac used as a bumper near the joints to reduce friction. There are many bursae located in your body, some of which being in the hip, shoulder, wrist, and elbow. However, a rotator cuff injury only affects the shoulder area of the body. The “rotator cuff” is composed of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor muscles. There is only one main way to be diagnosed with Bursitis and it happens when you overuse a joint in sports or on the job. You can put the bursa under pressure for a long time, thus causing the bursa to become inflamed.
Due to the fact that it is common in baseball, it is believed that they rotational stress that comes from throwing a ball may be significant in the eventual result of this injury. This injury is most likely the result of the articular cartilage being more susceptible to deformities and the patient going through rapid growth in the ages in which this injury is the most common, 13 to 16 years old. Also the plane of separation when throwing a baseball caused pressure on the weakest part of the plate in which this injury is common. The best thing to prevent this injury is to not let young players throw excessively. That is way many baseball little leagues have rules over how many pitchers and what type of pitches they let kids through until they get to a certain age. Treatment should include rest at an average of 3 months. It is also recommended that coaches and parents encourage youth to bring attention to themselves in they are feeling any proximal humeral
Many people believe that concussions are just a head injury that causes headaches, but it’s more than that, so much more than that! In my recent research over Concussions, more importantly, concussions due to sports related occurrences, and the side effects.
I would come back in three months and go back to pitching. I would only throw one or two innings here and there coming back off of my injury. I was in my fifth game pitching from three month leave. I went into relieve a game in the fourth inning. I would go onto throw about eight pitches when I felt the familiar “pull” in my arm. I would go to throw two more pitches and have the same sharp stinging pain to follow. I pulled myself from the game.
Shoulder injuries are a very common injury that occurs in most sports. All injuries and the rehabilitation done to the injured shoulder are based on the anatomy and structures of the shoulder.

Most people have probably broken their arm or saw someone else break theirs. It takes a long time to heal. I never had a broken arm, but my brother Zach has.

When he broke his arm he couldn't play with us for about 5 weeks. He broke his arm, then went to the hospital and then recovered.

In general, individuals with a radial sprain will have limited function in the affected joint due to pain and swelling. Other symptoms may include bruising, a “pop” may hear or feel at the time of the injury.

Injuries play a big role in an athlete's career and his or her overall health, although minor injuries are often nothing to worry about they can lead to something serious especially if the injury is repeatedly being aggravated. scrapes, cuts, bruises, and broken bones are all things to worry about. When a player is injured he or she is losing play time and money and why risk this when there is small but giant steps that can be taken to prevent injuries. But brain injuries are something much more serious even if the player says not to worry because something worse than losing playtime is losing your life. Albert C. hergenroeder has written an article on preventing sports injuries, he says that there are 3 million sports injuries among kids around
