Elbow Disorder Basics. If you have elbow pain, a number of disorders could be the culprit. Overuse and sports injuries cause many elbow conditions. For example, golfers, baseball pitchers, tennis players, and boxers often have elbow disorders.Elbow disorders may involve arm muscles, elbow ligaments, tendons, and bones in the arm.igament problems can occur in any of the ligaments located in the elbow joint. Ligament sprains and strains can occur due to trauma or as a result of repeated stress. The ligament may be stretched, partially torn, or completely torn. Sometimes youâll hear a popping noise upon injury.
When the elbow is loose and repeatedly feels as if it might slip out of place, it is called recurrent or chronic elbow instability. Anatomy. Your elbow is made up of your upper arm bone (humerus) and the two bones in your forearm (radius and ulna).On the inner and outer sides of the elbow, strong ligaments (collateral ligaments) hold the elbow joint together and work to prevent dislocation.ecurrent elbow instability may cause locking, catching, or clicking of the elbow. You may also have a sense of the elbow feeling like it might pop out of place. This feeling commonly occurs while pushing off from a chair.
