Loose Body in Elbow of a Baseball Player: Arthroscopic/Radiologic Correlation

We present the case of a 21 year old male college varsity baseball player who presented with sudden non-traumatic right elbow pain and limited range of motion. Plain radiographs suggested a calcified intra-articular body. Magnetic Resonance (MR) was performed to better characterize the location, consistency and mobility of this body. Multiple intra-articular bodies were found at subsequent arthroscopy. This case emphasizes the close correlation among the clinical, radiographic, MR and arthroscopic findings.
