Overall, 92% (24\/26) of players exhibited tendinosis or tearing in at least one wrist. Dynamic ECU instability was detected in 42% of wrists (22\/52) and 91% (20\/22) of the time manifested as subluxation. Only 2 ECU tendon dislocations were observed, both occurring in the same individual. Overall, 73% (19\/26) of players exhibited ECU instability in at least one wrist. There was no relationship between static and dynamic ECU tendon abnormalities within the methodological limits of the investigation. Complete ECU tearing, tendon sheath effusion, tenosynovitis, and static dislocation were not seen in any wrist.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sonographic evidence of ECU tendinosis, partial\u2010thickness tearing, full\u2010thickness tearing, and subluxation can be seen in long\u2010term, asymptomatic, recreational tennis players, whereas tendon sheath effusions, tenosynovitis, and tendon dislocation are uncommon. Further research is warranted to determine the clinical significance of asymptomatic ECU tendon abnormalities among long\u2010term tennis players at multiple skill levels.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pmrj.2014.08.951","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,10]],"date-time":"2014-09-10T11:15:47Z","timestamp":1410347747000},"page":"255-263","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Sonographic Evaluation of the Extensor Carpi Ulnaris in Asymptomatic Tennis Players"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Joshua S.","family":"Sole","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steve J.","family":"Wisniewski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karen L.","family":"Newcomer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eugene","family":"Maida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jay","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.2165\/00007256-199826020-00005","article-title":"Common sports injuries in young tennis players","volume":"26","author":"Bylak J.","year":"1998","journal-title":"Sports Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","first-page":"12","article-title":"Skill\u2010level related injuries in recreational competition tennis players","volume":"10","author":"Jayanthi N.","year":"2005","journal-title":"Med Sci Tennis"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"703","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2007.040865","article-title":"Sport science and medicine in tennis","volume":"41","author":"Pluim B.M.","year":"2007","journal-title":"Br J Sports Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pmr.2006.05.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2005.023275"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546503261422"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.08.1725"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.csm.2006.03.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002142-200302000-00008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00330-007-0637-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","first-page":"1788","article-title":"Ultrasound diagnosis of peroneal tendon tears.
