“Thrower’s elbow” is a term that has been used to describe a constellation of imaging findings seen in players involved in overhead throwing sports, with maximum literature found on baseball injuries. On reviewing the literature, no cases of thrower’s elbow have been described in fast bowlers or cricketers. This case report describes a fast bowler with lateral elbow pain secondary to impaction injury and capitellar osteochondral lesion and concomitant findings of chronic overuse injury involving the ulnar collateral ligament, which is a part of the thrower’s elbow.
