ABS TRACT Radiography maintain their importance as a basic imaging modality in the evaluation of the musculoskeletal system from past to present. To maximize the diagnostic value of radiography, proper patient positioning is essential. Musculoskeletal calcifications have multiple appearances and locations. Each location has a specific short differential diagnosis, with minimal further investigation necessary. The relatively rare occurrence of this condition around the elbow could lead to a misdiagnosis or delay the definitive diagnosis. This rare case of calcific medial epycondylitis demonstrates why we should always review two views when looking for musculoskeletal pathologies. We also point to the role of ultrasound to confirm diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
