Diagnostic ultrasound is a valuable imaging tool that is slowly gaining in popularity among sports medicine clinicians. Commonly referred to as "musculoskeletal ultrasound," its valuable role in assisting with sports medicine diagnoses has been to date underused for a variety of reasons. Effective clinical usage for sports medicine diagnoses includes commonly seen conditions such as rotator cuff disease, ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow injury, and internal derangement of the knee, among many others. Limitation of clinical usage has been deterred by the cost of the unit, perception of time associated with assessment procedures, and the lack of formal training associated with diagnostic implementation. However, when properly used, musculoskeletal ultrasound can increase the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment, improve time to treatment intervention, and improve patient satisfaction. The purpose of this paper is to review the fundamentals of musculoskeletal ultrasound and present its specific diagnostic uses.
诊断超声是一种很有价值的成像工具，在运动医学临床医生中正逐渐受到欢迎。它通常被称为“肌肉骨骼超声”，由于种种原因，其在辅助运动医学诊断方面的重要作用至今未得到充分利用。运动医学诊断的有效临床应用包括肩袖疾病、肘部尺侧副韧带损伤、膝关节内部紊乱等常见病症。临床应用的局限性受到设备成本、评估程序所需时间的认知以及诊断实施相关正规培训缺乏的阻碍。然而，当正确使用时，肌肉骨骼超声可以提高诊断和治疗的准确性，缩短治疗干预时间，并提高患者满意度。本文的目的是回顾肌肉骨骼超声的基本原理，并介绍其具体的诊断用途。
