Radiologe. 2018 Sep 07;: Authors: Gierer P, Rocher S, Wichelhaus A, Rotter R Abstract Diagnosis and treatment of injuries to the elbow joint place high demands on the treating physicians. The complex anatomy of the elbow joint enables a wide range of movement and complex functions in everyday and professional life. These must be restored in the event of injury.Clinical and imaging-based diagnostic procedures serve to classify typical injuries of this joint according to a large variety of different pathologies.
