Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The hypothesis of this study is that musculoskeletal point of care ultrasonography would support the GP's decision and ultimately improve patient management.

The aim of this study is to evaluate, in the context of suspected musculoskeletal abnormality, the contribution of musculoskeletal point of care ultrasonography to the general practitioner's overall decision-making strategy, defined according to the following 5 axes: diagnosis (I), therapy (II), patient orientation (III), prescription of complementary examinations (IV) and follow-up (V).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study circuit takes place in a single visit.

1. The investigating physician suspects a musculoskeletal anomaly following an initial clinical examination.
2. The patient (who meets the inclusion criteria and has no non-inclusion criteria) gives consent to participate, after receiving information about the study.
3. The investigator fills in the e-CRF (appendix III), clinical examination, medical interrogation and his or her decisions according to the 5 axes, which cannot be modified, as the structure of the e-CRF planned in advance does not allow backtracking. The investigator performs the targeted musculoskeletal ultrasound with his or her personal ultrasound machine, following his or her usual operating procedure.
4. The investigator fills in the e-CRF with the results of the targeted ultrasound scan and indicates any modifications to the decision axes.

Intervention Type OTHER

After clinical examination and medical interrogation, The investigating physician gives her decisions in the e-CRF according to the 5 axes: diagnosis (I), therapy (II), patient referral (III), prescription of additional tests (IV) and follow-up (V). The investigator performs the targeted musculoskeletal ultrasound with his personal ultrasound machine, following his usual operating procedure and give/keep the final diagnostic.
