Ultrasound of the various component tendons of the CFT. A step wise approach to scanning the FCR, FDS, and FCU arising from the medial epicondyle. The correct identification of the anterior, central and posterior third of the CFT will help with standardising the measurement of tendon thickness. Accurate identification of the component tendons ensures that side to side comparison measurements of the CFT of the elbow are performed accurately. The FCU is an important landmark to recognise when seeking to scan the UCL anterior band.
