Conditions
Small joint, high demand.
The elbow concentrates the forces of throwing, racquet sports, lifting, and manual work into a compact joint. Accurate diagnosis distinguishes tendon problems from nerve, ligament, and joint sources — because each one is treated differently.
Evaluation
How an elbow visit is structured.
- History including sport, technique, equipment, and work demands
- Tendon, ligament, nerve, and joint examination
- Dynamic ultrasound of tendons and the ulnar nerve in motion
- Review of MRI and X-ray with a clinical correlate
- Distinguishing lateral and medial epicondylitis from ligament and nerve problems
- Ultrasound-guided therapeutic procedures when indicated
Common conditions evaluated
- Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
- Medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow)
- Ulnar collateral ligament injury
- Ulnar nerve symptoms at the elbow
- Elbow stiffness after injury
- Olecranon bursitis
