Elbow, hands and wrist injuries — detection and recovery

Listening stuff about elbow and elbow injuries right now. This stuff is quite complicated, between the ulna, the radius, and all other joints, bones, bursa, cartilages, ligaments, and tendons. Those injuries used to be career-ending before reconstructive surgery, and by them, I mean golf elbow (on the outside of the elbow) and tennis elbow (on the inside of the elbow). They happen mostly when people come back to train and play after a long break. Conditioning and strengthening is the key to preventing them. Common acute injuries — middle age active people, with a little pain, force it and pop up the biceps, you do not lose the main flexing strength, you lose the supinator one (think about opening jars or turning screwdrivers). A partial tear can be present for a long time, and we do not know. Steady, long-term fitness exercises are another way to prevent elbow injuries. Some kind of reconstruction is only meant for elite athletes, to gain that extra 5 miles/hour, after a partial biceps tear, and normal people have basically no visible benefits from it. Ruptures in active people need to be repaired, ruptures in sedentary people make no difference once repaired. Elbow reconstruction is a kind of specialized surgery, meant to be done only for athletes and very active people.
