AI Article Synopsis
- Overhead-throwing athletes commonly experience specific shoulder and elbow injuries due to their repetitive motions.
- There is a lack of detailed information about these injuries in the radiology literature, despite their well-known pathophysiology and terminology in clinical contexts.
- This review aims to highlight key imaging features of these injuries to improve diagnosis and treatment strategies for radiologists working with these athletes.
Article Abstract
The overhead-throwing athlete is susceptible to a variety of predictable disease entities affecting the shoulder and elbow. While the pathophysiology and nomenclature of these diseases are ubiquitous throughout the clinical literature, this information is sparse within the radiology domain. We provide a comprehensive review of these unique injuries with accompanying imaging features in an effort to enhance the role of the radiologist during the management of the overhead thrower. When appropriately recognized and described, the imaging features aid in establishing a diagnosis and ultimately the implementation of appropriate clinical management.
