This is a narrative review of musculoskeletal ultrasound for patellar tendon injuries. It describes possible advantages and limitations of the imaging method, but it reports no patients, no diagnostic accuracy results, and no outcomes, so there is no finding to change practice on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read the title as evidence that ultrasound improves diagnosis or outcomes. The paper reports no patient data or results.
