| Popis: | Author(s): Ogle, Kathleen; Mandoorah, Sohaib; Fellin, Matthew; Shokoohi, Hamid; Probasco, William; Boniface, Keith | Abstract: Musculoskeletal complaints are one cornerstone of urgent issues for which orthopedic and emergency physicians provide care. Ultrasound can be a useful diagnostic tool to help identify musculoskeletal injuries. We describe a case of bilateral patellar tendon rupture that presented after minor trauma, and had the diagnosis confirmed at the bedside by point-of-care ultrasound.Physicians caring for patients with orthopedic injuries should be familiar with the use of ultrasound to diagnose tendon ruptures. |
