In 6 patients with loose bodies due to osteochondritis dissecans, trau
ma or chondromatosis at the elbow, an additional ultrasonic examinatio
n was performed. In all cases loose bodies as well as the osteochondra
l lesion at the radial head and trochlea humeri were seen. Ultrasonic
examination of the elbow is recommended in addition to the mandatory x
-ray examination. However, sonography enables reduction of x-ray expos
ure because additional x-ray tomography can be avoided.
