Ultrasonographic differential diagnosis of medial elbow pain.

Medial elbow pain is a common musculoskeletal problem among individuals engaging in repetitive activities. Medial epicondylitis is the predominant cause of this pain. However, other potential causes must be considered as part of the differential diagnosis. This article discusses several etiologies of medial elbow pain, including medial epicondylitis, ulnar neuropathy, snapping triceps syndrome, ulnar collateral ligament injury, medial antebrachial cutaneous neuropathy, and diseases of the elbow joint, with an emphasis on ultrasound (US) findings. Awareness of possible diagnoses and their US features can assist radiologists in establishing a comprehensive diagnosis for medial elbow pain.
