Abstract
The findings of ultrasound examination at and around the lateral humeral epicondyle in 41 tennis players suffering from so called tennis elbow are reported. Ultrasound examinations were performed with a real time ultrasound machine. The tenderness and functional impairment of tennis elbow may be caused by several different lesions, at times appearing in association. Six ultrasonographic characteristics could be identified: Enthesiopathy, Tendonitis, Peritendonitis, Bursitis, Intramuscular haematoma, Mixed lesions. Ultrasonographic examination gives a detailed image of the structures incolved in the tennis elbow syndrome, confirms the diagnosis, and may be useful in monitoring treatment. Verf.-Referat
