Rugby is a contact sport that can cause serious injuries. Although rugby players can injure many parts of their body whilst playing, elbow injuries are a common injury within the sport. Common elbow injuries rugby players face are distal bicep rupture, posterior impingement, ulnar nerve entrapment, little league elbow, and elbow fractures. The biceps brachii tendon tears from its attachment site causing distal bicep rupture, resulting from an overload and other injuries. Posterior impingement is an injury of soft tissues or cartilage due to an overuse and repetitive extension of the elbows.
