Abstract

Olecranon impingement is a rare condition in general population; however, it is usually seen in overhead athletes; however, it is usually seen in overhead athletes. Repetitive combined hyperextension, valgus, and supination of the elbow, resulting in a mechanical abutment of bony or soft tissues in the posterior fossa of the elbow aggravate the problem. Complains of pain posteriorly, joint effusion, locking, crepitus, and a decrease in range of motion, most notably an extension deficit are most common. Although conservative treatment of posterior impingement is rare, arthroscopy of the elbow can be a radical option at the beginning. The unusual case of an olecranon impingement syndrome at right elbow in a female patient is reported here. The patient was treated with conservative rehabilitation approaches for 8 weeks and returned to painless daily activities.
