Elbow Joint Disease and Injury

While the elbow is considered the most stable joint in the body, it is not immune to disease and injury.

Some of the more common types of injuries include dislocation, fracture, tendonitis and bursitis. Diseases of the elbow include arthritis and infection.

Elbow injuries and diseases generally affect athletes and extreme hobbyists, such as mountain climbers and body builders, due to the tendency of overuse of the elbow in repetitive motions.

Tendonitis, also known as tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow, is the inflammation of the tendons that surround the elbow joint due to overuse of the joint.

Bursitis is caused by similar circumstances, but affects the bursa that surrounds the joint.
