Brief Summary

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

Evaluation and Clinical Correlation of Tendons Using Power Doppler, SWE, Microvascular Flow (MV-Flow) Imaging and B-Mode Ultrasonography in Patients with Lateral Epicondylitis.

Detailed Description

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

The aim of the study was to perform tendon evaluation using different ultrasonography methods in patients with a diagnosis or prediagnosis of lateral epicondylitis and to determine the correlation between clinical findings and ultrasonographic findings. Hemodynamic and elastic properties of pathologic tendons will be examined using Power Doppler, Shear Wave Elastography (SWE), Microvascular Flow (MV-Flow) and B-Mode Ultrasonography methods.

In addition, clinical scoring of the cases will be compared with positive wrist extension tests agonist resistance (Cozen test) duration of pain in the lateral epicondyle region (weeks), VAS pain score at rest, VAS pain score during activity, VAS pain score during maximal grip, VAS pain score during maximal grip, and US findings to determine the ultrasonography technique with the highest clinical correlation.

In addition, the differences between pathologic tendons and normal tendons will be evaluated to determine the Doppler US findings with the highest diagnostic performance.
