In jobs that involve repetitive manual movements, such as operating industrial machines, cleaning, or even those that require the use of a mouse and keyboard, the common tendons of the extensor and flexor muscles are constantly required to perform these movements. Therefore, repetitive movements can lead to their degeneration and wear. Pain arises progressively or, less commonly, after trauma, more localized to the inner or outer region of the elbow.<\/p>\n<p>In workers whose activities require efforts with heavier loads, tendon ruptures (of the biceps brachii, for example) or traumatic injuries such as fractures or fracture-dislocations of the elbow may occur, with intense pain and immediate functional limitation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a391de3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default animated fadeIn\" data-id=\"a391de3\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-961f31b\" data-id=\"961f31b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-602da0a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"602da0a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Can elbow pain be influenced by the sport played?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5aa6e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d5aa6e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>Certain sports are classically associated with elbow pathology, of which tennis is a classic example due to lateral epicondylitis \u2013 tennis elbow.

This treatment consists of adapting work functions or sports movements, rehabilitation and possibly the use of elbow orthoses. When complaints persist, regenerative therapies such as platelet-rich plasma may be considered, especially in cases of epicondylitis where there appears to be a significant healing effect and improvement in pain. Surgical treatment is reserved for the most severe cases or those that do not respond to previous treatments. Minimally invasive techniques or even arthroscopy are available options, depending on the structures affected.<\/p>\n<p>Traumatic injuries, such as fractures or dislocations, or acute tendon ruptures (most commonly of the biceps brachii), require urgent treatment. Surgery is often necessary to align the fragments or reinsert the injured structures. It also allows for faster mobilization to avoid the stiffness that often develops.<\/p>\n<p>A consultation with a specialist in this area allows for a careful assessment and the design of treatment plans appropriate to each person&#8217;s occupation and functional requirements, in a personalized approach to each case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/active-young-man-holding-by-his-hurt-broken-hands-while-lying-autumn-forest-path-by-his-bicycle-scaled.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/active-young-man-holding-by-his-hurt-broken-hands-while-lying-autumn-forest-path-by-his-bicycle-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/active-young-man-holding-by-his-hurt-broken-hands-while-lying-autumn-forest-path-by-his-bicycle-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/active-young-man-holding-by-his-hurt-broken-hands-while-lying-autumn-forest-path-by-his-bicycle-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/active-young-man-holding-by-his-hurt-broken-hands-while-lying-autumn-forest-path-by-his-bicycle-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/active-young-man-holding-by-his-hurt-broken-hands-while-lying-autumn-forest-path-by-his-bicycle-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/active-young-man-holding-by-his-hurt-broken-hands-while-lying-autumn-forest-path-by-his-bicycle-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/active-young-man-holding-by-his-hurt-broken-hands-while-lying-autumn-forest-path-by-his-bicycle-219x146.jpg 219w, https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/active-young-man-holding-by-his-hurt-broken-hands-while-lying-autumn-forest-path-by-his-bicycle-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/active-young-man-holding-by-his-hurt-broken-hands-while-lying-autumn-forest-path-by-his-bicycle-113x75.jpg 113w\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/blog\/\"><br \/>\nSee all the Articles<br \/>\n<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/contactos\/\"><br \/>\nSchedule an Apointtment<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elbow pain &#8211; what we do is reflected in what hurts us Elbow pain is a term commonly used in a sense that sometimes undervalues \u200b\u200bthe<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4307,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ortopedia___en"],"lang":"en","translations":{"en":4314,"pt":3940},"pll_sync_post":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4314"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4314\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5146,"href":"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4314\/revisions\/5146"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
