The biceps tendon is also important in its contribution to shoulder stability. There are two proximal biceps tendon attachments at the shoulder joint, and a single distal biceps tendon at the elbow.

A shortcut review was carried out to see whether the hook test is sensitive enough for a negative result to exclude complete distal biceps tendon rupture (DBTR) in adults. 3 papers presented the best ...

Ultrasound has been used in PT clinics for many years. The treatment involves passing an ultrasound wand with a coupling gel over your injured tissue for five to 10 minutes. The wand sends ultrasonic ...

The treatment involves passing an ultrasound wand with a coupling gel over your injured tissue for five to 10 minutes. The wand sends ultrasonic waves into your biceps tendon, heating the tissue.

yahoo.com Objective We compared the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided haematoma block with that of procedural sedation and analgesia in patients with acute distal radial fracture reduction pain ...

Ultrasound evaluations assessed for tendon and fascia thickening, hypoechogenicity and neovascularisation. Athletes were monitored for time-loss injury over the subsequent year. Results A total of 695 ...

METHODS Twenty shoulders of 20 inpatients with arthritis were evaluated by US one day before the shoulder operation. Changes in the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa, biceps tendon and tendon sheath, ...

Background Ultrasound (US) imaging is commonly used to visualise tendon structure. It is not clear whether the presence of structural abnormalities in asymptomatic tendons predicts the development of ...

X-ray and Ultrasound Scan The prevalence of the pathologies identified on x-ray and ultrasound are presented in Figures 3 and 4. Acromioclavicular joint (Figure 5a) and GHJ pathology were the most ...

Mean values ±2 SD were defined as standard reference values. Results: Hypoechoic rims were normally present in joints and tendon sheaths owing to physiological synovial fluid and/or cartilage.
