Abstract:
With high-resolution MR imaging, the collateral ligament of the elbow can be directly evaluated; thus ligamentous injuries can be detected, localized, and graded. The functional anatomy of the ligaments of the elbow is reviewed. The normal appearance of the ligaments on MR images as well as the clinical and MR imaging findings of medial and lateral collateral ligament injury are presented.
