One cannot overstate the importance of a thorough history and physical examination, supplemented with directed imaging, to help pinpoint the exact cause of the athlete's elbow pain. Although plain radiographs should not be overlooked, advanced imaging plays a critical role in diagnosis and management of pathology in the thrower's elbow, including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and stress ultrasound. By judiciously combining these elements, the clinician can appropriately manage these injuries in order to successfully return the athlete to their preinjury level of play.
全面的病史采集和体格检查，辅以针对性的影像学检查，对于准确找出运动员肘部疼痛的确切原因至关重要，怎么强调都不为过。虽然普通X线片不应被忽视，但先进的影像学检查在投掷运动员肘部病变的诊断和管理中起着关键作用，包括计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像和应力超声。通过明智地结合这些要素，临床医生可以恰当地处理这些损伤，以便成功地使运动员恢复到受伤前的比赛水平。
