The elbow is the most complex joint in the body, just like with the knee, all it takes is a sharp hit to the wrong spot to leave you unable to function. Doesn't matter how big or strong you are or how muscular you are, its an extremely vulnerable area.
You could be hit a thousand times in the arm and be fine and that one time it ends up in just the wrong spot and suddenly you can't grip anything nor exert any kind of force through the elbow.
