Robert C Manske, Chris Wolfe, Phil Page, Michael Voight
PMID 40469652WHAT IT FOUND
This paper describes how to scan the triceps tendon with ultrasound.
It does not report patient outcomes or test diagnostic accuracy, so there is no evidence here to guide treatment decisions.
What this paper is
This is a clinical guide describing how to perform musculoskeletal ultrasound of the triceps tendon. It details patient positioning, transducer placement, and expected anatomical findings, but reports no patients, no outcomes, and no diagnostic accuracy data. There is no finding here to change your practice on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not interpret this as evidence that ultrasound improves patient outcomes. The paper explains how to use the tool but does not report a study of patients or outcomes.
