Short summary
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can identify various elbow abnormalities resulting from sports trauma, including injuries related to the medial tension-lateral compression phenomenon and other common issues.

Key points
- Elbow injuries in sports like baseball and tennis are often caused by trauma.
- The medial tension-lateral compression phenomenon leads to specific injuries: flexor-pronator strain, ulnar collateral ligament sprain, ulnar traction spurring, and ulnar neuropathy.
- Lateral compression can cause osteochondral lesions of the capitellum and radial head, degenerative arthritis, and loose bodies.
- MRI is used to detect a wide array of elbow abnormalities, including ligament, tendon, nerve, and osseous injuries, as well as arthritis and masses.

Abstract
Many abnormalities seen in the elbow result from trauma, often from sports such as baseball and tennis. Elbow problems are frequently related to the medial tension-lateral compression phenomenon, where repeated valgus stress produces flexor-pronator strain, ulnar collateral ligament sprain, ulnar traction spurring, and ulnar neuropathy. Lateral compression causes osteochondral lesions of the capitellum and radial head, degenerative arthritis, and loose bodies. Other elbow abnormalities seen on magnetic resonance imaging include radial collateral ligament injuries, biceps and triceps tendon injuries, other nerve entrapment syndromes, loose bodies, osseous and soft-tissue trauma, arthritis, and masses, including bursae.
