A Rare Case of Elbow Synovial Cyst with Radial Nerve Compression.
Diagnostics (Basel)

Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Wan Fang Hospital, Taipei Medical University, Taipei 116, Taiwan.
Elbow synovial cysts are rare and can mimic more frequently encountered disorders such as lateral epicondylitis, presenting diagnostic challenges. This report describes a woman in her mid-40s with persistent pain and weakness in her right forearm due to a synovial cyst compressing the radial nerve at the Arcade of Frohse. Despite initial suspicions of lateral epicondylitis, deeper investigation using sonography confirmed the presence of a compressive synovial cyst.

Objective: To evaluate the Neuropathy Score-Reporting and Data System (NS-RADS) MRI grading system in conjunction with electrodiagnostic (EDx) testing for radial neuropathy at the elbow.
Materials And Methods: Patients presenting between 2010 and 2023 with suspected radial neuropathy who underwent both EDx testing in the form of electromyography and nerve conduction studies and MRI within a 12-month period were evaluated. Three blinded radiologists used the NS-RADS grading system to evaluate nerve entrapment (E grades), muscle denervation (M grades) proximally within the supinator/extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB), and more distally within the forearm extensor muscles.
Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) has emerged as a valuable diagnostic tool in the evaluation and management of lateral elbow pathologies. This imaging modality provides high-resolution, dynamic visualization of superficial soft tissue structures, making it particularly advantageous for assessing conditions such as lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), ligamentous injuries, radial tunnel syndrome, and other common disorders. This article reviews the utility of MSKUS for rehabilitation providers, focusing on its role in accurately identifying pathoanatomical changes, guiding treatment strategies, and monitoring therapeutic outcomes.

Purpose: The role of corticosteroid injection for radial tunnel syndrome (RTS) has not been studied in a placebo-controlled clinical trial. The present clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effect of local triamcinolone injection on pain intensity, upper-extremity disability, and elbow function of patients with RTS.
Methods: Forty-nine patients clinically diagnosed with RTS were randomized into the intervention and placebo groups.

Elbow injuries are one of the commonest paediatric musculoskeletal injuries. Their spectrum varies from pulled elbow to elbow dislocation. Supracondylar fractures are the most common type of paediatric elbow fractures accounting for 65-75 % of all paediatric elbow injuries.
