Condition(s) studied

Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy (Tennis Elbow)

Study summary

Lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) is the most common cause of elbow pain. Even though provocation tests such as Cozen's test, Mill's test or Maudsley test; musculoskeletal ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging can be used for diagnosis, gold standard method is yet to be determined. Purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of clinical tests and ultrasonography in diagnosis of LET.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 18-60 with unilateral elbow pain * Tenderness with palpation at the lateral epicondyle * Pain triggered with pressure compared to the opposite lateral epicondyle with algometer. Exclusion Criteria: * History of rheumatologic diseases * History of e corticosteroid injections on lateral epicondyle * History of elbow surgery or infection

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Elastography — At enrollment
    Both shear wave and strain elastography will be applied. Stiffness and shear wave velocity will be calculated on shear wave elastography and strain ratio will be calculated on strain elastography.
