The accuracy of the high-resolution real-time ultrasonic examination of the flexor tendons of the fingers of the hand has been tested on the retrospective study of 27 patients treated surgically. The method is sensitive and specific in the rupture of the tendons (8 cases), except when the latter is partial. Ultrasound enables the discrimination between palmar masses developed extrinsically (8 cases) and those involving the tendons (4 cases). A fluid collection inside the tendon's sheath has been detected in all the 5 cases of tenosynovitis, without false positive. The post-operative follow-up of operated tendons is easier by ultrasound.
通过对27例接受手术治疗患者的回顾性研究，对手部手指屈肌腱进行了高分辨率实时超声检查的准确性测试。该方法在肌腱断裂（8例）时具有敏感性和特异性，部分肌腱断裂情况除外。超声能够区分外在形成的掌侧肿物（8例）和累及肌腱的肿物（4例）。在所有5例腱鞘炎病例中均检测到腱鞘内有积液，无假阳性。超声检查使术后对手术肌腱的随访更加容易。
