Abstract
Chronic repetitive stretch and strain of muscle tendon can make its healing slow and incomplete, leading to a condition known as the insertional tendinopathy. Generally, it is easily diagnosed by a typical clinical history with proper clinical evaluation and imaging features like tendon thickening and inflammation. In this chapter, we described different imaging findings in insertional tendinopathy in elbow.
