A 21 year old male was playing ultimate frisbee. He collided with another player as he was reaching for the frisbee and heard a pop on the medial aspect of his right elbow.

A. strain of the pronator teres muscle

B. dislocation of the radial head

C. radial collateral ligament sprain

D. ulnar collateral ligament sprain

E. anterior capsulitis

The correct answer is D) Ulnar Collateral Ligament Sprain

Explanation:

Ulnar collateral ligament sprain is a minor injury to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), which connects the ulna (forearm bone) to the distal end of the humerus. The UCL enables the arm to flex by pivoting at the elbow joint.

The rehabilitation of an elbow with such a condition can take nine months to a year, and sometimes longer, subject to a number of factors includging but not limited to the physiology of the subject and commitment to the rehab process as well as the dexterity of the physiologist.

To aid the healing process, the elbow will be placed in a hinged brace to gradually increase the range of motion until it can be fully extended.

Cheers!
