Ultrasound imaging of the elbow is an invaluable tool that enhances diagnostic precision and facilitates therapeutic procedures with high accuracy. Compared to palpation-guided techniques, ultrasound-guided interventions significantly improve precision. This article reviews ultrasound-guided techniques for elbow joint interventions, including intra-articular injections, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, triceps and distal biceps tendinopathy, and ulnar nerve neuropathy. Practical guidance is provided on probe selection, patient positioning, and step-by-step procedural details. Special emphasis is placed on optimizing needle placement and minimizing risks such as nerve injury or other inadvertent damage. Ultrasound-guided procedures represent a pivotal advancement in conservative orthopedics and rehabilitation, enabling precise treatment delivery and improving patient outcomes. Text is supplemented with anatomical notes. DOI: 10.55095/achot2025/018
