NCT ID NCT06446336

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study aims to create a new scoring system called HASS to reliably diagnose long biceps tendon injuries before surgery. Currently, these injuries are hard to confirm without surgery, leading to uncertainty. Researchers will combine physical exam tests and imaging data from 200 patients to build and validate the score.
