Summary

Assessment of the role of USG in the evaluation of tendon and ligament abnormalities in hand and fingers in traumatic \& non-traumatic causes.

Conditions

  • Tendon Disorder

Interventions

DEVICE

Ultrasound

musculoskeletal US will be performed using commercially -available equipment, with high frequency linear -array transducers and a standard gel interface. The higher frequency transducers provide better spatial resolution, while the lower frequency transducers provide a greater depth of tissue penetrance. Colour Doppler US is also performed in most cases as it plays an important role in supporting and confirming diagnoses, by providing valuable information about the pathophysiology of the abnormality. The patients will be seated with hands placed on a table, to permit examination of both volar and dorsal aspects, in longitudinal and transversal axis. Examination of the hands and fingers usually requires a large amount of transmission gel, in order to avoid compression and to permit dynamic evaluation. When acute trauma with skin lesions is investigated, sterile transmission gel, or sterile acoustic standoff pads can be used
