Anconeus Hyperintensity asspciated with Chronic Lateral Epicondylitis






"CONCLUSION. Increased signal intensity of the anconeus muscle on MR images in
patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis suggests Involvement of the muscle.
Increased signal intensity is seen with edema, granulation tissue, and Inflammation,
which may explain the findings in this study. Our results are Inconclusive as to
whether this increased signal intensity contributes to the chronicity of patient symptomatology
or is associated with abnormal elbow motion because of the symptoms."
