结局指标
主要结局
Epicondylar surface movement relative to the supinators - extensor carpi radialis brevis and longus (affected elbow)
时间窗: Days 7 to 15
The movement of the superficial epicondyliens relative to the supinator is studied via ultrasound and classified as follows: A) good interface movement in both directions; B) good movement in only 1 direction; C) bad movement over less than half of the interface; D) bad movement over a majority of the interface; E) no movement along the interface.
