Evaluation of the Contribution of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound to the General Practitioner's Overall Decision-making Strategy

The study circuit takes place in a single visit.

• The investigating physician suspects a musculoskeletal anomaly following an initial clinical examination.
• The patient (who meets the inclusion criteria and has no non-inclusion criteria) gives consent to participate, after receiving information about the study.
• The investigator fills in the e-CRF (appendix III), clinical examination, medical interrogation and his or her decisions according to the 5 axes, which cannot be modified, as the structure of the e-CRF planned in advance does not allow backtracking. The investigator performs the targeted musculoskeletal ultrasound with his or her personal ultrasound machine, following his or her usual operating procedure.
• The investigator fills in the e-CRF with the results of the targeted ultrasound scan and indicates any modifications to the decision axes.
