Understanding Elbow Imaging
Baseball infielders often sustain elbow fractures from diving catches or high velocity impacts. CT provides detailed bone imaging that reveals fracture lines, displacement, and joint involvement.
Why CT Is Effective
CT detects subtle fractures that X ray may miss, especially in early stages.
Guiding Treatment
Accurate imaging supports decisions about casting, bracing, or surgery.
Preventing Long Term Issues
CT helps prevent chronic elbow instability and reduced throwing performance.
