Despite the increasing use of MRI in knee disorders, ultrasonography remains the first choice examination technique in para-articular disease. The technique is fast, cheap, easily accessible and usable in the acutely injured patient. The choice of equipment, positioning of the patient and some characteristics of normal anatomy are described. The routine applications of ultrasonography include different types of tendon disease, trauma of the collateral ligaments, bursal pathology, joint effusions and synovitis, evaluation of the popliteal fossa and para-articular swellings. Other possible applications, somewhat more depending on the examiner's experience, are meniscal disease, trauma to the cruciate ligaments and evaluation of the articular cartilage and synovial plicae.
尽管磁共振成像（MRI）在膝关节疾病中的应用日益增加，但超声检查仍是关节周围疾病的首选检查技术。该技术快速、廉价、易于操作，且适用于急性损伤患者。文中描述了设备的选择、患者的体位以及正常解剖结构的一些特征。超声检查的常规应用包括不同类型的肌腱疾病、侧副韧带损伤、滑囊病变、关节积液和滑膜炎、腘窝及关节周围肿胀的评估。其他可能的应用在一定程度上更依赖于检查者的经验，包括半月板疾病、交叉韧带损伤以及关节软骨和滑膜皱襞的评估。
