About this trial
Lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) is the most common cause of elbow pain. Even though provocation tests such as Cozen's test, Mill's test or Maudsley test; musculoskeletal ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging can be used for diagnosis, gold standard method is yet to be determined. Purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of clinical tests and ultrasonography in diagnosis of LET.
