What is an elbow ligament injury?

Also known as: elbow ligament tear, elbow ligament sprain.

Ligaments are bands of tissue that connect bones to one another. The elbow has three ligaments: The annular ligament, the radial collateral ligament and the ulnar collateral ligament. When an injury occurs to one of these ligaments, it is known as an elbow ligament injury.
