Doctors develop simple score to spot hidden shoulder injuries before surgery
NCT ID NCT06446336
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this score could give doctors a reliable way to diagnose long biceps tendon injuries before surgery, reducing uncertainty.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study creating a new diagnostic tool, not testing a treatment. The score may not prove accurate enough for widespread use.
