About this study

100 elbows from 50 patients will be included, from a population of asymptomatic subjects, in order to measure the frequency of ulnar nerve which surface is >8,3 mm².

The measures will be realized centered on the epicondyle : 2 cm higher, and 2 cm lower with 2 echographs (ESAOTE) and 2 observers. An inter and intra observer study will also be realized to determine the reproducibility and reliability of the measurements.
