Diagnostic Utility of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Early Postoperative Evaluation of Posttraumatic Repaired Hand Tendons.
Sponsor: Assiut University
Summary
To evaluate the role of musculoskeletal ultrasound in the early postoperative period following hand tendon repair. By assessing its diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility, the study seeks to determine whether routine MSK-US surveillance can contribute to earlier detection of complications, guide timely management decisions, and ultimately improve functional outcomes in patients undergoing hand tendon surgery.

Interventions
MSK US
Focus on early postoperative (first 6-12 weeks) assessment after post-traumatic tendon repair. Utilization of high-frequency dynamic ultrasound rather than static imaging or delayed MRI. Standardized scanning protocol and blinded interpretation to ensure diagnostic validity. Designed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of MSK-US compared with conventional clinical follow-up methods.
