“…Normal extensors attachment has a typical filamentous echostructure, intermediate echogenicity, uniform thickness. Although from a practical point of view we are talking about a CEO, using high frequency US imaging the attachment fields of individual extensors -extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor digiti minimi, extensor digitorum communis and extensor carpi ulnaris especially in transverse scans can be distinguished [15]. Figure 3 presents anatomic CEO attachment to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus.…”

Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is a common orthopedic problem. It is a not life-threatening condition and does not cause severe disability, but it is a burden in everyday life. This paper focuses on this area and provides guidance on how to effectively perform US examination of the lateral part of the elbow. We will provide recent evidence on LE with particular emphasis on the role of the ultrasound in diagnosis, treatment, and disease management and we will exemplify the pathology with representative cases.
