简要总结
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.

研究组 & 干预措施
Lateral elbow tendinopathy
Patients with lateral epicondylitis will be included in this group.
Control
Healthy volunteers with similar demographic characteristics will be enrolled to this group.
结局指标
主要结局
Elastography
时间窗: At enrollment
Both shear wave and strain elastography will be applied. Stiffness and shear wave velocity will be calculated on shear wave elastography and strain ratio will be calculated on strain elastography.
