• Complex normal development at the pediatric elbow should not be confused with pathology. • The pediatric elbow is the site of a variety of common and uncommon acute injury patterns which can be identified on various imaging examinations. • Overuse injuries particularly in the young throwing athlete cause specific patterns of pathology. • A variety of other congenital, infectious and inflammatory conditions, which occur in and around the pediatric elbow, are important to recognize. 

OUTLINE: Normal development • Ossification centers • Accessory Ossification centers • Trochlear pre-ossification center seen on MRI Congenital Disorders • Congenital radial head dislocation • Radioulnar synostosis • Radial dysplasia Osteochondrosis/Osteonecrosis • Panner’s disease • AVN Traumatic injuries and their complications • Fractures • Soft tissue injuries • Injuries seen in the throwing athlete Miscellaneous • Inflammatory conditions • Infection • Soft tissue masses around the elbow
