Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo introduce the experiences of applying MR to diagnose the imaging characters in chronic injury of the elbows in athletes.
METHODSFrom September 2005 to May 2008, 40 elbows of 34 athletes, included 21 males and 13 females,aged from 6 to 16 years old, averaged (12.3 +/- 3.1) years were taken axial, saggital and coronal planes MR Imaging.
RESULTSMagnetic resonance imaging showed thickening and effusion of olecranon synovial plicaes, bone marrow edema of lower humeral ossification, radial head, olecranon, ulna coronoid, ulnar collateral ligament trauma in chronic injury of the elbow joint.
CONCLUSIONMRI is a susceptible method for the diagnoses of chronic injury of the elbow.
