Clinical Trials

The purpose of this research is to study elbow instability as it relates to tennis elbow and to understand its incidence, clinical presentation, radiographic findings, and outcomes.

There have been a wide variety of techniques suggested for performing stress sonography of the elbow medial ulnar collateral ligament (mUCL) to evaluate for underlying ulnohumeral joint (UHJ) instability. This is clinically relevant when using ultrasound to diagnose mUCL injuries by measuring ulnohumeral joint widening under stress. To assist the ultrasound operator, prior measurement techniques have stabilized, and stress loaded the elbow with a second operator or specialized instrumentation (Telos Device), as well as a two-operator technique. Reliability of these techniques has not been described. This study will attempt to validate a novel single operator technique that does ...
