| Abstrakt: | MRI is a valuable diagnostic tool that has become an essential part of an orthopaedic surgeon's practice. When acquired in the appropriate clinical setting, an MRI can direct patient management as surgical versus nonsurgical, guide surgical decision making, and even predict patient outcomes. The quality of MRI obtained and quality of the radiology report received varies. Ultimately, the orthopaedic surgeon must interpret the available imaging and apply these findings to treat the patient. The current day practicing orthopaedic surgeon should be familiar with interpreting common MRIs. Although subspecialized orthopaedic surgeons usually have experience and understanding of MRIs in their field, the general orthopaedic surgeon and those in-training will encounter the gamut of musculoskeletal MRIs. This review focuses on common injuries that can occur in the elbow and provides an approach to minimize missed findings. (Copyright © 2021 by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.) |
