Ultrasound scanning guidelines

Shoulder Assess: Rotator cuff tendons for: Fibre continuity Homogenicity Contour deformity Presence of fluid / calcifications Insertions fro bony irregularity impingement on dynamic assessment Bursae for lumen distension / presence of fluid Biceps tendon for subluxation Ac joint dynamic assessment Glenoid for joint effusion Comparison with non-symptomatic shoulder Documentation: Biceps tendon transverse /longitudinal Subscapularis tendon Supraspinatus tendon Longitudinal Anterior / Mid / Posterior Transverse Anterior / Mid / Posterior Infraspinatus tendon Teres Minor / post glenoid labrum Corachoid-acromial ligament Acromio-clavicular joint Measurement of thickness of supraspinatus trans mid Clipstore of dynamics Subscapularis in external/internal rotation Supraspinatus long in abduction
