Diagnostic ultrasound of muscle injuries: what the sports medicine clinician should know.

British journal of sports medicine·2025

Musculoskeletal ultrasound effectively diagnoses knee pathologies like Baker's cysts and evaluates joint structures. This imaging technique also guides therapeutic procedures, enhancing diagnostic accuracy for knee conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a versatile diagnostic tool.
  • Common knee applications include evaluating joint recesses, extensor mechanisms, and bursae (e.g., Baker's cyst).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common knee pathologies visualized by ultrasound.
  • To introduce ultrasound-guided procedures for these pathologies.
  • To emphasize comprehensive ultrasound evaluation for maximizing diagnostic yield.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common musculoskeletal pathologies of the knee visualized via ultrasound.
  • Description of various ultrasound-guided procedures related to knee pathologies.

Main Results:

  • Ultrasound is valuable for assessing knee joint recesses, extensor mechanisms, and bursae.
  • It also plays a role in evaluating cartilage, tendons, ligaments, nerves, bone, and vasculature.
  • Common pathologies of these structures are identifiable with ultrasound.

Conclusions:

  • Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a key modality for diagnosing and guiding interventions for knee pathologies.
  • A thorough ultrasound examination maximizes diagnostic information.
  • It aids in evaluating a wide range of knee structures beyond common applications.
