Effect of elbow MRI with axial traction on articular cartilage visibility —a feasibility study

ConclusionMRI of the elbow with traction widens joint space and enables better articular cartilage visibility at the radiocapitellar joint. Anatomical features of the elbow might have affected these results. Therefore, it would be safe and useful for evaluating elbow injuries involving articular cartilage lesions.
