What Can an Elbow Ultrasound Detect?

Ultrasound is an ideal tool for evaluating soft tissue injuries and inflammation in the elbow. It can help diagnose:

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Inflammation or degeneration of the tendons on the outer part of the elbow.

Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis) Similar to tennis elbow, but affects the inner elbow.

Olecranon Bursitis – Swelling and fluid buildup over the pointy bone of the elbow.

Tendon Tears or Tendinopathy – Partial or full-thickness tears of the common extensor or flexor tendons.

Ligament Injuries – Strain or damage to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) or other stabilising ligaments.

Joint Effusion – Excess fluid within the elbow joint, which may suggest inflammation, arthritis, infection, or injury.

Synovitis – Thickening or inflammation of the joint lining

Nerve Entrapment – Compression or irritation of nerves such as the ulnar nerve, which can cause numbness or tingling in the hand and fingers.

Post-Injury or Post-Surgical Complications – Ultrasound can be used to assess healing or identify issues following surgery, injury, or injections.

Patient Testimonials

Great to visit Dr. Mahmood for a second scan to check on my progress since I had the injection a few weeks ago. I have felt a great improvement and a considerable drop in pain. Happy that today's scan confirmed that the bruising of the tendon is healing well.

Well on the road to recovery. - Raj Pal

I was guided through my ultrasound images by Dr Mahmood who translated the images into layman's terms. When it came to having my steroid injection, he talked me through the procedure. It was pain-free, and it relieved long-term the pain I was suffering. Top medical treatment, delivered by top professional doctors and assistants. Highly recommended. - Ray Brennan

"Dr Mahmood is highly skilled, knowledgeable and professional. Superb clinic - I was seen extremely quickly and my urgent wrist issue was sorted immediately with a scan and cortisone injection. Highly recommended." - Anna Rose

Have nothing but praise for this place. The doctor and his assistant were first class. The doctor explained everything in detail was very honest and sorted my problem out (had a cortisone injection) which was very successful. I would definitely recommend it! - Jackie Curtis

Easy to book online, helpful over the phone. Made to feel comfortable and reassured during the appointment.

Elbow Pain Ultrasound Scan FAQs

Benefits of using diagnostic ultrasound scans for Elbow Pain?

Diagnostic ultrasound scans provide real-time images, allowing for accurate assessment of the injury’s location and severity.

An elbow ultrasound scan is a safe and non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the soft tissues, ligaments, tendons, and joints in your elbow. It’s a primary and essential diagnostic tool for assessing a wide range of conditions, including injuries and chronic issues.

What Happens During the Scan?

Initial Consultation: The radiologist will discuss your symptoms and medical history.

Positioning: You will be comfortably positioned on an examination table, with your arm and elbow exposed.

Ultrasound Gel Application: A small amount of gel will be applied to your ankle to improve the transmission of sound waves.

Scanning Process: The radiologist will use a handheld transducer to capture images of the ankle. This process is entirely painless.

Review: The radiologist will review the images and provide a preliminary discussion of findings if appropriate.

What are common injection treatments for Elbow Pain?

Injection treatments for Elbow pain may include corticosteroid injections, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, and prolotherapy. These injections aim to reduce pain and inflammation in the affected area.

A corticosteroid injection involves injecting a powerful anti-inflammatory medication into the affected area. It can help reduce pain and inflammation in the Elbow but may have limitations in long-term effectiveness.
PRP injections involve using the patient’s own concentrated platelets to promote healing and reduce inflammation. They can be an effective option for some Tennis Elbow.
Prolotherapy is a treatment that involves injecting a solution, often dextrose or other substances, into the injured area to stimulate tissue repair and healing. It is sometimes used as an alternative treatment for Tennis Elbow.

Can you see inflammation or tendon tears with an elbow ultrasound scan?

Yes. Ultrasound is highly effective in detecting inflammation, tendon thickening, microtears, or full tears. It can also show fluid collections, nerve compression, and dynamic issues that appear with movement.

How do I Prepare for an Elbow Ultrasound Scan?

Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
Avoid applying creams or lotions to the area being scanned.
Bring any relevant medical history or previous imaging results.

Do I need a referral for an Elbow Ultrasound Scan and Guided Injections?

Ideally, you need a referral from your treating clinician. You may bring the referral in a paper form, or for ease, your referring clinician may fill out an online referral form through our website https://sonorad.co.uk/clinician-referrals/

If you do not have a referral, then please book a consultation appointment with our Consultant radiologist to determine the nature of your condition and the need for the injection. The consultant will discuss with you, and if needed, firstly, a diagnostic scan may be considered before proceeding with the injection.
