Sample Report
Osteochondral lesion in the capitellum measuring 12 x 8 mm. No displaced osseous fragment or loose joint body identified. Consider MRI for further assessment.
Elbow joint effusion is present. Although no acute fracture is identified, this raises the possibility of an occult nondisplaced (e.g. radial head) fracture.
No joint malalignment.
Joint spaces are maintained.
