Abstract

Sonography constitutes a method of choice in the evaluation of muscular structures. Traumatic lesions represent the majority of muscular injuries. A good anatomical knowledge of the weakness sites, as well as knowledge of traumatic signs and symptoms is essential in order to deliver a precise report to the referring physician. Sonography may suggest other causes of muscle lesions, tumoral or dystrophic, before confirmation by MRI.
