What this paper is

This is a clinical technique guide describing how to position a patient and place an ultrasound transducer to image the biceps femoris in long-axis and short-axis views, from the distal tendon at the fibular head up to the proximal origin at the ischial tuberosity. It includes anatomical descriptions, normal sonographic appearance, and two example pathology images (bursitis and a myotendinous junction tear). It reports no patients, no outcomes, and no comparative data, so there is no finding here to change your practice on.
