Elbow Imaging: Variants and Asymptomatic Findings. Seminars in musculoskeletal radiology Antil, N., Stevens, K. J., Lutz, A. M. 2021; 25 (4): 546-557

Abstract

One of the key principles in the interpretation of radiology images is the ability to differentiate between normal and abnormal findings. This article provides a comprehensive overview of normal structures and anatomical variants occurring around the elbow including potential diagnostic pitfalls. We discuss frequently observed anatomical variants found in routine clinical practice associated with osseous, ligamentous, musculotendinous, and neurovascular structures at the elbow that may simulate pathology or predispose to symptoms under specific circumstances.
