Abstract
Upper extremity injuries usually occur in the shoulder, elbow, or wrist of the athletic population, especially in overhead disciplines. Traumas, biomechanical imbalance due to improper technique, and overuse cover the majority of the epidemiological factors in this population. Common types of injury include tendon problems, bone fractures, sprains, and dislocations.
