Since the 17yr old boy is short, the doctor might have taken an x-ray of elbow to check the cause for his short height, bone growth and development, eg- fusion of epiphysis, any abnormality in bone density, any lesion etc.

Can a back injury stunt your growth?

It depends on how the back was injured. For example, gymnasts are normally short because they are flexible at such a young age which does something to their spine. I recommend asking your doctor.

What is the difference between long radius and short radius elbow?

In the area of industrial pipe fittings: Long radius 90 deg elbow has a take off dimension of one and one half times the nominal diameter of the pipe. Ex-4 inch pipe has an actual diameter of 4.5, for the elbow the take off dimension would be 4"*1.5=6". The short radius elbow take off dimension is the same as the nominal size, 4". To add to the point, a short radius elbow can be used typically where space is a constraint. Hence fluid flow is also restricted in this case unlike in case using of Long Elbow.

What are the risks when playing cricket?

I assume you mean physical/health risks: not many actually. The ball is kind of heavy and fairly hard so getting hit from a short range can be painful and cause damage. It rarely happens though since the players generally are spread well out on a large field. Apart from that, the bowler (pitcher) might pick up the occasional hamstring or strain injury from the actual bowl but it's rarely serious. The batsman might get hit by the ball but is well padded and real injury virtually never happens.

Generally short term disability is automatically going to be given to you after you show proof of the disability from you doctor. As long as your injury or illness is covered by the plan that your work has you shouldn't have to obtain any kind of legal representation to get your benefits. If your injury or illness is deemed as not coverable and you think it should then you may need to obtain legal advice.
