The Elbow Joint

MRI is useful in the investigation of pain and stiffness of the elbow joint. Common conditions affecting the elbow include lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow) and osteoarthritis (wear and tear). MRI can also show traumatic lesions such as a biceps or triceps tendon rupture, tear of the collateral ligaments and bony abnormality such as avascular necrosis. Loose bodies within the joint can usually be identified. It is not uncommon for an unsuspected fracture to be revealed by MRI.

This patient presented with a long history of a painless swelling at the elbow joint. MRI showed this to be an abnormality of the blood vessels next to the joint (arteriovenous malformation).
