Simultaneous Distraction and Extension Techniques for the Management of Loose Body in Elbow of Professional Cricket Player: A Case Report
Abstract
SUMMARY
A patient who was a fast-professional bowler presented with pain during the end range of extension of right elbow, intermittently during fast bowling. The subject was otherwise healthy, and his physical examination was insignificant. Pain at the end of elbow extension after the throwing was the main subjective finding. Isometric resisted test for extension was not eliciting pain and the ROM of the elbow appeared within normal limits. Over pressure at the end range was reproducing the symptoms. A loose body was suspected and treated with simultaneous traction and extension maneuver. The patient reported no pain after several weeks of treatment. The novel techniques might be helpful in the management of loose bodies of elbow joint.
