To evaluate the use of ultrasound for the diagnosis of intersection syndrome.
A total of 1,131 reports from hand and wrist ultrasound examinations performed between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2012 were re-evaluated. Two hundred and fifteen video clips present in the electronic database were reviewed by two musculoskeletal radiologists with 20 years of experience.
Of the 215 video clips reviewed, 21 patients were diagnosed with intersection syndrome. The mean age was 45 years (ranging from 22 to 60); 15 were male (13 with proximal intersection syndrome, 2 with distal intersection syndrome) and 6 female (5 with proximal intersection syndrome, 1 with distal intersection syndrome).
Intersection syndrome was identified in 1.9 % of all patients evaluated in the setting of a specialized hospital. Ultrasound is a non-invasive, simple, and economical method for the identification of intersection syndrome, tendon sheath anatomy (individual or separate sheaths) and to exclude other pathological conditions.
评估超声在交叉综合征诊断中的应用。
对 2008 年 1 月 1 日至 2012 年 12 月 31 日期间进行的手部和腕部超声检查的 1131 份报告进行重新评估。对电子数据库中存在的 215 个视频片段由两名具有 20 年经验的肌肉骨骼放射科医生进行了回顾。
在审查的 215 个视频片段中，有 21 名患者被诊断为交叉综合征。平均年龄为 45 岁（范围为 22-60 岁）；15 名男性（13 名患有近端交叉综合征，2 名患有远端交叉综合征），6 名女性（5 名患有近端交叉综合征，1 名患有远端交叉综合征）。
在专门医院评估的所有患者中，交叉综合征的检出率为 1.9%。超声是一种非侵入性、简单、经济的方法，可用于识别交叉综合征、肌腱鞘解剖结构（单个或单独的鞘）并排除其他病理状况。
