• ABSTRACT
    • Elbow injuries resulting from acute trauma or repetitive overuse are a common source of pain and functional limitation in both athletes and the general population. This review presents a radiologic approach to the evaluation and management of these conditions. It describes the roles of key imaging modalities and provides practical guidance for assessing traumatic injuries such as fractures, ligamentous disruptions, and tendon avulsions. Common overuse conditions, such as medial epicondylitis, lateral epicondylitis, and nerve compression syndromes, are reviewed with attention to characteristic imaging features and diagnostic challenges. The article also explores the role of image-guided interventions, particularly ultrasound-guided injections, in both diagnosis and treatment. By consolidating imaging strategies and emphasizing the strengths of each modality, this review will help radiologists and clinicians achieve an accurate diagnosis and manage elbow injuries effectively, ultimately promoting better outcomes and a timely return to activity.
