“…The lateral synovial fringe (a synovial plica) is depicted as a triangular hyperechoic structure intervening between the capitellum and the radial head. The common extensor tendons are usually evaluated to assess the severity and extent of tendon abnormality with the potential to guide injection (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26). The extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon is always involved, followed by the extensor digitorum communis (17).…”

“…This complex consists of several components: the radial collateral ligament, the lateral ulnar collateral ligament, part of the annular ligament, and sometimes an accessory radial collateral ligament (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26). The radial collateral ligament proper is a fan-shaped structure that arises from the anteroinferior aspect of the lateral humeral epicondyle and converges with the fibers of the annular ligament distally (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26). The radial collateral ligament is thick.…”

“…The contralateral normal elbow may be used for comparison. In children, US may help visualize an increased distance between the radial head and the humeral capitellum, probably due to the impingement of the annular ligament (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26). This condition is known as "pulled elbow" and it is due to the annular ligament slipping over the radial head following forceful pronation (28).…”

As with other musculoskeletal joints, elbow ultrasonography (US) depends on the examination technique. Deep knowledge of the relevant anatomy, such as the bone surface anatomy, tendon orientation, nerves, and vessels, is crucial for diagnosis. It is important to be aware of the primary imaging pitfalls related to US technique (anisotropy) in the evaluation of deep tendons such as the distal biceps and peripheral nerves. In this article, US scanning technique for the elbow as well as the related anatomy, primary variants, and scanning pitfalls are described. In addition, an online video tutorial of elbow US describes a possible approach to elbow evaluation. Online supplemental material is available for this article.

“…10 Another mapping study quantified its location as 19 mm from the trochlear joint margin on an anteroposterior (AP) view and 10 mm from the coronoid on the lateral view. 7 When performing a ligament reconstruction through a muscle-splitting approach, the surgeon must rely on what can be seen through this direct view of the medial elbow. What must be identified is the sublime tubercle of the ulna, the ulnohumeral joint line, the AMCL ligament remnant, and its footprint on the medial epicondyle.…”

“…2 Regardless of the severity of elbow trauma with concomitant injuries to the capsule and common extensor tendon, the LUCL remains the main stabilizer against varus stress and posterolateral rotatory instability. 3 In addition, the chronic insufficient lateral collateral ligament is a clinically relevant pathology after an elbow dislocation. 4 However, other etiologies such as cubitus varus, iatrogenic injuries after primary surgical treatment for lateral epicondylitis, and repetitive corticosteroid injections also may lead to an LUCL insufficiency.…”
