Abstract

Medial elbow complex injuries have been reported in competitive and recreational golfers. Ultrasound imaging (USI) is a common method for assessing medial joint stability in baseball and other overhead athletes, however there is a paucity of literature in golfers. During the golf swing, there are increased valgus forces on the trailing arm elbow versus the leading elbow, potentially leading to increased medial joint laxity of the trailing arm.
