QID 210242 (Type "210242" in App Search)
A 21-year old minor league pitcher returns to your office with persistent posteromedial pain in his throwing elbow that worsens after ball release and follow-through. His exam shows full range of motion and some tenderness to palpation over the olecranon. No crepitus is felt medially, and there is no reproduction of the pain while bending the elbow to 90 degrees and pulling the thumb laterally. The rest of the exam is otherwise unremarkable. Radiographs are shown in Figures A-B. What is the most likely diagnosis and next best step in treatment?
