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 patient suffers from dorsal pain at the ellbow after overuse without trauma. There is no effusion in the joint or bursa – but projection to the subtendinous bursa of triceps brachii muscle is mild effusion and hyperemia detectable.
