Patient Positioning
Patient seated, the elbow flexed (90°) either with resting forearm on a examination table and “overhanging” elbow or resting palm on a table (extension of the wrist).
Probe Positioning
Place the transducer on a transverse plane over the olecranon and move the probe cranially over the triceps tendon.
Note: The triceps tendon and the triceps muscle are evaluated in long and short axis planes. Evaluate the superficial olecranon bursa without pressure (under normal conditions without effusion not visible).
