The ultrasound of the elbow joint allows, first of all, to assess the bone contours and the condition of the soft tissues surrounding the elbow joint (tendons, muscles, bursae, nerves). The indication for performing a magnetic resonance imaging of the elbow (MRI) is an ambiguous ultrasound examination result or the need for a precise evaluation of cartilage and bone injuries of the elbow joint, which can only be seen on MRI scans.
