  • Title: [Ultrasound study of the elbow joint in patients with chronic inflammatory joint diseases--an enrichment of diagnosis?].
    Author: Sell S, König S, Zacher J.
    Journal: Z Rheumatol; 1993; 52(3):156-60. PubMed ID: 8368020.
    Abstract:
    After clinical and radiological examination, the elbows of 74 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were examined by ultrasound. Clinical examination gives a good impression of the inflammatory changes of the elbow joint. Sonography was very useful in detecting synovitis and joint effusion and their distribution in the different parts of the joint. It is a good method to document the therapeutic effects; therefore, beside the clinical and radiological findings ultrasound may be helpful in planning further therapeutic measures for the patient.
