Ultrasound has become an increasingly valuable diagnostic tool throughout all areas of medicine. The role of diagnostic ultrasonography has an evolving role in orthopaedic surgery and particularly in the field of foot and ankle. Whether in the clinic or hospital setting, ultrasound has proven to be pivotal in the identification and localization of foreign bodies. The inherent limitations of plain films in identifying nonmetallic penetrating foreign bodies of the foot can be overcome or enhanced with the assistance of diagnostic ultrasound.

超声已成为医学各个领域中越来越有价值的诊断工具。诊断性超声检查在骨科手术中，尤其是在足踝领域，发挥着不断演变的作用。无论是在诊所还是医院环境中，超声已被证明在异物的识别和定位方面至关重要。在诊断性超声的辅助下，X线平片在识别足部非金属穿透性异物方面的固有局限性可以得到克服或增强。
