Hand tendons lesions represent a challenge for an accurate diagnosis, an optimal treatment strategy, the description of the lesion and its location being an important step. The non-invasive ultrasound evaluation was demonstrated to be an important diagnostic method in these types of lesions, especially in those situations where clinical evaluation failed to reveal the pathological changes and therefore has an important role in the adequate management.
