 Imaging plays an important role in assessment of chronic elbow pain. Electromyography assists in the workup related to nerve symptoms. Management for epicondylalgia and osteoarthritis includes conservative measures such as rest, activity modification, analgesia, physical therapy, and corticosteroid injections. Surgery may be indicated for more severe or refractory cases and cases of collateral ligament injury, biceps injury, cubital tunnel syndrome, or osteochondral abnormalities. Special Imaging Considerations Stress radiographs to detect medial joint line opening and/or asymmetry to the contralateral elbow are available to evaluate valgus instability of the elbow.
