Abstract
Purpose of the Review
With high resolution real-time and dynamic imaging capabilities, ultrasound is an excellent imaging modality for the evaluation of the elbow. With the foundational understanding of elbow anatomy and pathology, ultrasound of the elbow can positively impact clinical care with both diagnostic examination and image-guided injections and treatments.
Recent Findings
Although there is a learning curve and image quality is operator dependent, knowledge of proper patient positioning, ultrasound technique, and tips for eliminating common pitfalls will significantly make an impact on performing and interpreting elbow ultrasound.
Summary
Elbow ultrasound is an excellent modality for the diagnosis of elbow joint pathology and image-guided injections and treatments. By understanding the anatomy and learning scanning techniques, ultrasound of the elbow can provide integral clinical value.
