Summary: The video provides an insightful discussion on lateral hip pain, focusing on the trochanteric tendon and its crucial role in hip stability. He explains the tendon’s attachment to the lateral trochanter bone and highlights the potential integrity issues indicated by hypoechoic areas. Visual assessments reveal possible linear tears, with one substantial tear [...]

  Summary: The video explains a lateral epicondylar tear complex, highlighting a hypoechoic area at the tendon’s attachment to the bone, specifically involving the wrist extensor tendon group. Current preferred treatment for a tear of this size is platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which promotes tendon strengthening. Prolotherapy may be used for smaller tears or tendinopathy, [...]

  Summary: This video highlights a case of infrapatellar tendinopathy, a condition affecting the tendon just below the kneecap (patella). Ultrasound imaging reveals a swollen and irregular section of the tendon, with signs of microtears and hypoechoic (dark) areas—indicating poor healing rather than active inflammation. Unlike traditional "tendonitis," tendinopathy refers to a degenerative condition, [...]

  Summary: In this video, we examine a unique case of Achilles pain that doesn’t stem from typical tendon thickening, but instead from extra bone growth at the heel—right where the Achilles tendon attaches. At first glance, the tendon appears healthy and not thickened, misleading both patients and providers. However, deeper ultrasound imaging reveals [...]

  Summary: In this video, we explore Achilles tendinopathy, a condition marked by the thickening and irregular structure of the Achilles tendon due to poor healing. Using ultrasound imaging, the video highlights the distinct features of a tendinopathic tendon, including irregular fibers, hypoechoic (dark) spots, calcification, and a noticeably thicker cross-section—up to 1.38 cm, [...]
