Joint Position and General Hypermobility Affect Elbow Joint Congruence on Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Prospective Cohort Study
In MRI examination of healthy elbows, joint congruence increased significantly from supination to pronation. In combined extension and pronation, the elbow joint was equally congruent in the normal and hypermobile groups. When MRI scans in supination or combined flexion and pronation are evaluated, increased joint incongruence in hypermobile individuals is physiological and should not be confused with PLRI.
