Article Synopsis
- Ultrasound (US) is a valuable tool for assessing acute tendon injuries, enabling quick evaluations and decisions on treatment at the bedside.
- It surpasses physical exams in sensitivity and specificity, making it critical for accurately identifying conditions like distal triceps tears that show similar symptoms but have different severities.
- US also helps characterize the injury's location and extent, which guides treatment choices, and can eliminate misdiagnoses by distinguishing between musculoskeletal and nonmusculoskeletal issues like deep venous thrombosis.

ILND is associated with a significant incidence of complications and adverse events, specifically wound complications. Few studies have identified risk factors related to postoperative ILND complications.

We report a case of implant failure after fixing an unstable intertrochanteric fracture with a dynamic hip screw (DHS). The patient presented with a DHS that had migrated into the pelvis approximately six months after surgery.
