Does bone mineral mass affect medial elbow injuries in young baseball players?: evaluation using bioelectric impedance analysis

Contrary to our hypothesis, bone mineral mass was higher in players with medial elbow injuries, but was not significantly associated with them. A one-time measurement of bone mineral mass is probably not specific enough to analyze the condition of the medial epicondyle. Baseball experience has been identified as a possible factor associated with medial elbow injuries in young players, and increases in experience should be used as an indicator to assess elbow joint health.
