[3] Extension type of injury (70% of all elbow fractures) is more common than the flexion type of injury (1% to 11% of all elbow injuries). [4]
Ligamentous laxity, or ligament laxity, is a cause of chronic body pain characterized by loose ligaments.When this condition affects joints in the entire body, it is called generalized joint hypermobility, which occurs in about ten percent of the population, and may be genetic.

[ 4 ] [ 16 ] As a result of frequent tissue injury, there can be an early onset of advanced osteoarthritis , [ 45 ] chronic degenerative joint disease, [ 45 ] swan-neck deformity of the fingers, [ 46 ] and ...
Swan neck deformity has many of possible causes arising from the DIP, PIP, or even the MCP joints. In all cases, there is a stretching of the volar plate at the PIP joint to allow hyperextension, plus some damage to the attachment of the extensor tendon to the base of the distal phalanx that produces a hyperflexed mallet finger.

The theory is that the radial nerve becomes irritated and/or inflamed from friction caused by compression by muscles in the forearm.
