When the child visits the doctor, the doctor will seek information about the child's age, sports participation, activity level, and what the child's dominant arm is. The affected elbow will be compared to the healthy elbow and any differences between the two will be noted. The location of where the pain is in the elbow, and the child's range of motion and extension will also be determined to make an accurate diagnosis. To check the child's range of motion and extension limitation the child will be asked to move the arm of the affected elbow in various directions. The movement of the arm in various directions will allow the doctor to conclude how good the child is able to move the arm and the doctor will be able to determine if there is pain caused by the various directions of movement.

In<unk> , the capitellum may appear flat and the bone growth plate will look irregular and fragmented. The areas where bone breakdown has occurred can also be visualized on the radiograph. When the patient undergoes an MRI scan any irregularities of the capitellum will able to be visualized, and the bone will be able to be visualized in more detail to determine the extent of swelling, if any. In the MRI results for<unk> , there will be a decreased signal intensity of the capitellum on a T1 series and increased signal intensity on a T2 series.
