Scientists map a new tendon in the shoulder using ultrasound
NCT ID NCT06441903
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study used ultrasound to look at a recently discovered tendon in the shoulder called the delto-pectoral tendon (DPT). Researchers examined 46 adults with upper limb injuries to measure this tendon and understand how it connects with other shoulder structures. The goal was to better explain certain tendon injuries and improve future diagnosis.
