Throwing puts a lot of stress on the elbow, especially overhand throwing. In sports, this high stress is repetitive. And overuse will often lead to throwing elbow injuries.
Accidents can happen. In fact, anyone can fall onto an outstretched arm. However, most commonly, elbow injuries and hand injuries occur when playing sports or when someone trips. The act of falling on your arm in this way can fracture the wrist. Injuries to your wrist and elbow can happen for other reasons too. Your technique can be off, or you may overdo an exercise one day. Maybe you are just not in as good of shape as you thought. The good news, you can prevent these problems!
