Pulley Flap Tear: Ultrasound Diagnosis A 28-year-old male, a regular amateur climber, felt and heard a "crack" in his fourth finger while making a hold, which prevented him from continuing his activity. Four days later, an ultrasound was performed. The static view revealed a complete tear of the A2 pulley in its ulnar portion, with the pulley remnant interposed between the phalanx and the flexor tendon, associated with moderate regional inflammatory changes. The dynamic ultrasound in the transverse plane, with resisted finger flexion, showed separation of the tendon from the bony line of the proximal phalanx, confirming tendon instability. Within the spectrum of pulley injuries, multiple tears are the only relative indication for surgery. In this patient, conservative treatment with EPI sessions was chosen, as identified in the ultrasound study at 6 weeks, complete formation of a fibrous tissue in the path of the pulley that is competent in the dynamic study associated with resolution of the symptoms and progressive return to his sports activity, without relapse in the following 2 years.

Lung ultrasound turns air into information. 🧠 Normal lung 🚩 Interstitial syndrome 🫧 Pleural effusion 🔥 Pneumonia 💨 Pneumothorax 📌 Always scan systematically Ultrasound doesn’t replace the chest X-ray — it answers different questions, faster.

@BrianElliottMD1 Got you. Although I suspect there’s a large proportion of people using non-sterile gel on the patient.

@pocusfoamed The gel doesn’t touch the patient. It’s a small amount on the probe. Then cover the gel and probe head with the sterile tegaderm. The image quality is still adequate without gel on the skin. Often it’s a single use packet gel, but it doesn’t ever touch the skin anyway

@BrianElliottMD1 If you want a US reference: cdc.gov/healthcare-ass…

@BrianElliottMD1 If you’re going to the trouble of covering the probe, why use regular gel? gov.uk/government/pub…
