Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Evaluating the tendon and ligament abnormalities by the US and correlating them with the symptoms.
characterization of tendon and ligament pathologies in hand and fingers in traumatic and non-traumatic causes by using clinical history and imaging appearance by US, one can determine the diagnosis
Baseline
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Assessment of the role of USG in the evaluation of tendon and ligament abnormalities in hand and fingers.
Baseline
Interventions
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
Eligibility Criteria
Patients complaining of pain or masses in hands or fingers, patients with inflammatory conditions, and traumatic injuries.
You may qualify if:
- Patients complaining of pain or masses of the hands and the fingers or referred for assessment of tendon \& ligaments which are involved in such pain and swellings.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with a recent history of local operative intervention will be excluded
