IMAGENS DE TOMOGRAFIA COMPUTADORIZADA (TC) NO TRATAMENTO DE LESÕES DO TENDÃO EM ATLETAS

IMÁGENES DE TOMOGRAFÍA COMPUTARIZADA (TC) EN EL TRATAMIENTO DE LESIONES DEL TENDÓN EN ATLETAS

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

endon injury can usually be divided into the following types: fracture, dislocation, compression, bone insert, tendon injury, among which dislocation and compression are more common.

Objective:

To evaluate the application value of Computed Tomography (CT) image in tendon display.

Methods:

CT scan of the hands and feet was performed in our hospital for suspected tendon lesions. The CT and MRI data of 61 patients with tendon injury were retrospectively analyzed, and the diagnostic efficiency of CT and MRI were compared and analyzed.

Results:

The diagnostic accuracy of 61 patients was 89.71% (61/68). Except for chronic tendon injury (12/19), the diagnostic accuracy of other lesions was 100%. The sensitivity of CT and MRI in the diagnosis of hand tendon injury was 94.7% and 90.7%, the specificity was 99.3% and 98.6%, and the coincidence rate was 97.7% and 96.3%.

Conclusions:

CT images are accurate in localization and characterization of tendon injury, with high sensitivity and specificity, and can provide accurate anatomical basis for surgery. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.
