29 lip 2024 · Lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow, is an overuse syndrome of the common extensor tendon and predominantly affects the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon. Epidemiology. Lateral epicondylitis occurs with a frequency of 7 to 10 times that of medial epicondylitis.
Lateral epicondylitis is among the most frequently diagnosed injuries at the elbow. In patients who fail to respond to conservative measures, MRI can accurately evaluate the common extensor tendon origin and detect coexisting conditions that may require surgical correction.
3 lut 2024 · The lateral epicondylitis is more common than medial epicondylitis mostly seen in tennis players, caused by repetitive extension. Mostly affects the extensor tendons, classically extensor carpi radials brevis and radial collateral ligament complex.
1 sty 2010 · The anatomy, pathophysiology, and clinical and imaging manifestations of lateral and medial epicondylitis are reviewed, with emphasis on the appropriate use of MR imaging and US for differential diagnosis and treatment planning.
18 mar 2016 · MR imaging is the most sensitive modality for diagnosing lateral epicondylosis, the most common cause of elbow pain, but US can be useful for guiding therapeutic procedures.
Ultrasound was found to be a sensitive (64–100%) and specific (36–100%) tool for the diagnosis, in one meta-analysis. Ten studies, within a systematic review, showed MRI was reported to be as sensitive (90–100%) as the ultrasound, with a greater specificity (83–100%).
8 lut 2016 · The aim of the study is to determine the inter-reliability and intra-observer reliability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for lateral epicondylitis and investigate whether there is a potential relationship between MRI abnormalities of the common extensor tendon (CET) and its clinical symptom.
