Reason: Tendonitis after trauma; left elbow pain History: left elbow pain LIGAMENTS: Although this examination was not optimized for detailed evaluation of the intrinsic ligaments of the elbow, the ulnar collateral ligament appears intact. The radial collateral ligament appears intact. The lateral ulnar collateral ligament appears intact.TENDONS: There is thickening and intermediate signal abnormality within the common extensor tendon at the level of the lateral epicondyle indicating mild tendinosis. No fluid-filled tear is evident. The flexor tendons appear intact. The biceps and brachialis muscles and tendons appear intact. The triceps tendon appears intact.ARTICULAR SURFACES AND BONE: No bone marrow signal abnormality is identified. There is osteophyte formation indicating mild osteoarthritis. There is a small amount of increased signal abnormality within the capitellum on fluid sensitive sequences which may reflect degenerative change (19; series 1401)SURROUNDING STRUCTURES: The ulnar nerve is normal in appearance.ADDITIONAL
Tendinosis of the common extensor tendon and osteoarthritis of the elbow as described above.
