Background: Elbow pain is a common presenting symptom in repetitive motion performing athletes. Due to the popular use of prolonged conservative therapy in elbow pain, and the importance of early surgical intervention in Elbow Synovial Fold Syndrome, proper and prompt diagnosis is essential.

After reviewing this study the reader will be better able to differentiate between Lateral …
