[Comments on the evaluation of the axial cubital joint X-ray film (author's transl)].
Evaluation of 250 axial elbow joint X-ray films included measurement of an angle between the ulnar and radial halves of the trochlea, which varies between 140 and 170 degrees. In cases where this angle was smaller, eminences of various size were found in the radial border of the olecranon. In addition, the distance between the ulnar border and the bottom of the sulcus of the ulnar nerve was increased with steep upright position of the ulnar half of the trochlea. Diffuse complaints were stadet in case of upright positioning of the ulnar half of the trochlea and formation of eminences at the radial border of the olecranon. These complaints were clearly different from the typical symptoms associated with ulnar or radial epicondylitis. The axial elbow joint X-ray film could supply objective pointers to assist in the diagnostic differentiation of these complaints.
