Robert C Manske, Chris Wolfe, Phil Page, Michael L Voight, Elizabeth Bardowski

PMID 38707859

WHAT IT FOUND

Ultrasound is described as a possible adjunct for gluteus medius tendon pathology, but the paper reports no original methods or results to act on.

What this paper is

This is a perspective review for rehabilitation providers about diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound for gluteus medius tendon pathology. It discusses prior imaging studies and possible clinical uses, but it does not report original methods, participants, outcomes, or results, so there is no finding to act on.

The easy way to misread this

Do not read this as evidence that ultrasound improves diagnosis or outcomes. It is a perspective review, not a study with original results.
