Reason: Possible persistent tendonitis versus FCU tendon tear at the level of the forearm and into the wrist History: pain with activity Bone marrow signal intensity is normal. The signal intensity of the musculature is normal on the T1 and fat suppressed T2-weighted images. However, there is slight increased signal intensity of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis longus muscles as well as of the brachioradialis, flexor carpi radialis and palmaris longus muscles following contrast administration. The clinical significance of this finding is uncertain. The flexor carpi ulnaris muscle and tendon appear normal. Please note that this study is not optimal for evaluation of the tendinous and ligamentous structures of the elbow, but we see no elbow joint effusion. Additionally, we see no soft tissue masses.
Minimal enhancement of a few of the anterior and posterior compartment muscles as described above, which is of questionable clinical significance. We see no abnormality of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle or tendon or other specific findings to account for the patient's pain.
