Ultrasound of the elbow: a systematic approach using bony landmarks

Michel De Maeseneer et al. Eur J Radiol. 2012 May.

Abstract

The use of bony landmarks can be helpful in performing an ultrasound study of the elbow. We discuss bony landmarks that can be used for evaluation of the common extensor tendon, ulnar collateral ligament and common flexor tendon, coronoid and olecranon fossa, ulnar nerve, and biceps tendon. We discuss bony landmarks for each of these structures.
