Functional Results of Infiltration for Biceps Tendonitis Guided by Ultrasound vs Anatomical Repairs: Variation in Technique
Hospital Universitario San Ignacio
50 participants
Jun 1, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
A randomized clinical trial aimed at comparing the functional outcomes of brachial biceps infiltration guided by anatomical landmarks versus ultrasound guidance. Given that ultrasound guidance has shown an efficacy of 91%, this intervention could potentially be more effective in delivering medication to the target area and achieving improved therapeutic outcomes
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria5

Interventions
Anatomical landmark-guided puncture involves patient positioning and palpation, whereas ultrasound-guided involves identifying the biceps tendon's axis and inserting the needle parallel to the transducer.
