title: [Computerized tomography of the elbow joint].
abstract: An essential pre-condition for the interpretation of computer tomographs of the elbow joint is a knowledge of the normal anatomy. The complexity of the joint requires a definite protocol for the examination, since only in this way is it possible to distinguish all anatomical structures and pathological processes. A clinical example is used to show that CT of the elbow joint is superior to all other radiographic methods for demonstrating osteochondritis dissecans. It is therefore an important additional method for demonstrating the elbow joint.
