Objectives-Ultrasound (US) is increasingly being used as an extension of the physical examination on the sidelines, in training rooms, and in clinics. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in sport is common, but the literature on US findings after acute ACL rupture is limited. Three indirect US findings of ACL rupture have been described, and this study assessed the validity of these indirect signs.Methods-Patients with an acute knee injury (<6 weeks) underwent US examinations to determine whether there was evidence of a femoral notch sign, posterior cruciate ligament wave sign, or capsular protrusion sign. Ultrasound findings were compared to magnetic resonance imaging.Results-Sixty-nine patients were included (53 with ACL tears and 16 control patients). The posterior cruciate ligament sign had the highest sensitivity (84.9%), and the notch sign had the highest specificity (93.8%). If 2 or 3 of the signs were positive, the sensitivity was 86.8%, and the specificity was 87.5%.Conclusions-A US examination is an easy-to-perform and noninvasive test, and the 3 indirect signs of an acute ACL tear had high positive predictive values ranging from 91.8% to 96.8%.

Stellenwert der Sonographie in Traumatologie und Orthopädie

A wide variety of modern ultrasound systems - including linear probes (7.5-15 MHz) and curved array probes (3.5-7.5 MHz), with color Doppler and duplex as well as harmonic imaging are used in trauma surgery and orthopedics to image and investigate almost all regions of the body. It is generally possible to assess all joints by ultrasonography. Valid procedures for ultrasonographic examination of the elbow, hip, knee, and ankle joints have been described in the literature. In the clinical setting, the use of ultrasound to examine the Achilles tendon and joints such as the shoulder and knee is particularly well documented. An important feature of ultrasound is that it allows dynamic examinations and side-to-side comparisons. Because ultrasonography is a very widely used imaging modality, it is a useful tool for screening and monitoring and especially for investigating venous thrombosis and diseases and injuries of the tendons and muscles.
