On examination, she had full range of pain-free elbow movements. She had discomfort on palpation over the anteromedial aspect of the elbow, and a palpable flick with forearm pronation/supination as well as on elbow extension. Anatomically, the brachialis muscle is divided into a larger ...
A CT scan of the injured elbow was ordered for patients with pain on elbow extension (a positive elbow extension test) and no evidence of fracture on x-ray study. All CT and x-ray images were evaluated by a designated radiologist. One hundred and forty-eight patients presented to our ...
