This study aimed to compare the outcomes of the single-incision technique with a distal biceps repair system versus the modified double-incision technique, specifically the Morrey-modified approach, Krackow sutures, and drill holes, for the management of acute and chronic distal biceps tendon rupture. The study was conducted at the Orthopedic-Traumatology Clinic II of SCJUPBT Timisoara, Romania, between 2014 and 2022. A total of sixty-nine patients with acute distal biceps tendon rupture and five patients with chronic distal tendon rupture were included in the study.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study systematically reviewed the use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) for diagnosing and managing posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries, hypothesizing it could match the diagnostic accuracy of MRI while offering better patient outcomes and lower costs.
  • - Seven studies involving 242 patients were analyzed, showing POCUS sensitivity between 83.3% to 100% and specificity between 86.7% to 100%, with some studies reporting 100% accuracy in diagnosing PCL injuries.
  • - The results indicate that POCUS is a reliable and cost-effective alternative to MRI for PCL injuries, which could enhance patient care and inform future clinical practices and research.

The current study included a total of 10 patients, both males and females, who gave their consent to participate in the study and underwent clinical and ultrasound examinations. All patients had a history of carpal tunnel symptoms like tingling, numbness, nocturnal paraesthesia and weakness of the hand (loss of pinch and grip strength) for more than 12 months. The aim of our study was to investigate the morphopathology of the median nerve in clinically diagnosed carpal tunnel thought static and dynamic ultrasound assessment.
