Normal MR imaging anatomy of the elbow.
The functional complexity achieved at the elbow is a reflection of the sophisticated architecture that embodies this articulation. In addition to challenging anatomic relationships to conceptualize, there are many anatomic variations that exist in the osseous, capsular, and muscular structures. This article offers a detailed description of the structural and imaging anatomy of the elbow, information that establishes the foundation of imaging interpretation of internal derangements.
