20-year-old male with elbow pain. Evaluate ulnar nerve and medial elbow. LIGAMENTS: The ulnar collateral ligament appears intact. The radial collateral ligament appears intact. The lateral ulnar collateral ligament appears intact.TENDONS: The flexor and extensor tendons appear intact. Heterogeneity of the common flexor tendon at the level of its insertion likely represents a combination of postoperative changes and tendinosis. There are linear foci of signal void along the medial aspect of the medial epicondyle likely representing postsurgical changes. No fluid-filled tear is identified. The triceps tendon appears intact. The biceps and brachialis tendons are normal in appearance.ARTICULAR SURFACES AND BONE: There is a focus of decreased signal abnormality within the medial epicondyle of the humerus likely representing a prior screw tract. There is a focal articular cartilage defect along the capitellum, posteriorly, that likely represents a normal anatomic variant. SURROUNDING STRUCTURES: The imaged musculature of the left elbow is normal in appearance.ADDITIONAL
Postoperative changes about the common flexor tendon as described above. No evidence of disruption of the intrinsic ligaments of the elbow, as clinically questioned. More specifically, the ulnar collateral ligament appears intact.
