In at least three types of soft tissue injuries of the knee, meniscal, tears, ligament tears, and patellar tendinitis, ultrasound can be a useful diagnostic adjunct. In some cases, the use of ultrasonography may reduce the morbidity associated with more invasive diagnostic techniques, such as arthrography and arthroscopy. More work needs to be done comparing ultrasonographic findings with surgical findings. As more experience is gathered by the ultrasonographer, this technique may replace arthrography and possibly diagnostic arthroscopy in predicting anatomic injury.
在至少三种膝关节软组织损伤中，即半月板撕裂、韧带撕裂和髌腱炎，超声可作为一种有用的辅助诊断手段。在某些情况下，使用超声检查可能会降低与侵入性更强的诊断技术（如关节造影和关节镜检查）相关的发病率。需要做更多工作来比较超声检查结果与手术结果。随着超声检查人员积累更多经验，这项技术在预测解剖损伤方面可能会取代关节造影，甚至可能取代诊断性关节镜检查。
