Anterior elbow pain LIGAMENTS: There is increased signal within the proximal fibers of the anterior bundle of the ulnar collateral ligament posteriorly. This is thought to represent degenerative change versus the sequela of prior tear. There is similar signal findings within the proximal fibers of the lateral collateral ligament. TENDONS: The biceps tendon is intact. A small amount of fluid signal is seen within the bicipitoradial bursa near the biceps attachment. The brachialis tendon is also intact. There is increased signal of the common extensor origin which may reflect tendinosis or partial undersurface tearing. There is also minimally increased signal along the common flexor origin which also likely represents mild tendinosis. The triceps tendon is normal.ARTICULAR SURFACES AND BONE: There is moderate osteoarthritis of the elbow particularly at the radiocapitellar articulation as evidenced by subchondral cystic change and cartilage loss. ADDITIONAL
1. Trace amount of fluid in the bicipitoradial bursa near the origin of the biceps tendon; however the biceps tendon is normal.2. Osteoarthritis of the elbow with degeneration of the medial and lateral structures further described above.3. Focal increased signal and enlargement of the ulnar nerve within the cubital tunnel which may represent a mild neuritis or be clinically insignificant.
