Abstract

This article focuses on common sports-related injuries that are amenable to diagnosis by diagnostic ultrasonography. These injuries include rotator cuff-tears, lateral epicondylitis, distal biceps tendon tears, and anterior talofibular ligament injuries. The anatomy, scanning techniques, mechanism of injury, and sonographic appearance of each injury are discussed.
