Acute Elbow Injury — High-Resolution Musculoskeletal Ultrasound

Detailed Tendon Assessment Without Radiation

Elbow injuries often affect tendon attachments and superficial supporting structures.

Whether your symptoms began after lifting, throwing, racquet sports or a sudden sporting injury, targeted ultrasound may help characterise the damaged tissues.

At MBR Health, our musculoskeletal ultrasound service provides high-resolution examination of accessible elbow tendons, ligaments and surrounding soft tissues.

What Can Elbow Ultrasound Assess?

• Common extensor tendon tears.
• Common flexor tendon injuries.
• Distal biceps tendon abnormalities.
• Triceps tendon injuries.
• Selected medial and lateral collateral ligament abnormalities.
• Superficial soft-tissue and fluid collections.
• Selected peripheral nerve abnormalities.

Why Ultrasound?

Ultrasound allows detailed imaging of superficial tendon fibres and dynamic examination where appropriate.

MRI may be more suitable if a complex ligament injury, deep joint abnormality, cartilage injury or occult fracture is suspected.
