“…Because of their size and superficial location, the ankle tendons and ligaments can be well evaluated with ultrasound [6]. We performed US in all cases of ankle sprain in order to evaluate the position of the ligament and to analyze the echostructure and shape of ligaments and tendons.…”

“…Musculoskeletal ultrasonography is an effective technique to visualize normal and pathological tendons and to non-invasively evaluate (qualitative assessment) 1,2 or measure (quantitative analysis) parameters reflecting tendon size (length, thickness, and cross-sectional area) and structure (echo-intensity) [3][4][5][6] . Patellar tendon ultrasonography is commonly performed in the routine management of athletes of different disciplines to investigate tendon abnormalities that may occur due to repetitive tendon overload [7][8][9][10] .…”

SummaryBackground: Ultrasonographic abnormalities of the patellar tendon frequently occur in asymptomatic athletes and it is not always clear whether they precede (and may predict) the development of tendinopathy. Objective: This study aimed to investigate by ultrasonography the prevalence of patellar tendon abnormalities in players of "pallapugno" and to establish whether structural tendon abnormalities predict tendinopathy development. Methods: Ultrasound B-mode images of the patellar tendon of both sides were acquired in fourteen throwers. Qualitative assessments of tendon structure and neovascularization and quantitative assessments of tendon thickness, cross sectional area (CSA), and echo-intensity were performed. Results: Qualitative assessments showed a subclinical tendinopathy of the non-dominant tendon in 5 out of 14 throwers (35% of cases), while quantitative assessments showed abnormalities of the nondominant tendon in 8 out of 14 players (57% of cases). Echo-intensity and CSA were the quantitative variables most discriminant between asymptomatic players without structural tendon abnormalities and those with tendon abnormalities. Two players (2 out of 8 cases: 25%) developed a clinical tendinopathy after a follow-up of six months. Conclusion: The prevalence of subclinical tendinopathy in the non-dominant patellar tendon of throwers was high. Patellar tendon abnormalities at baseline seem to increase the risk of development of subsequent patellar tendinopathy. Level of evidence: II b (individual cohort study).

“…However, the use of 3D imaging with the US-B can be considered advantageous as it allows the arrangement of the calcification to be viewed in three dimensions. 26,31,32,35,36 When it is a question of an injury that concerns the bone, the 3D application provides great accuracy in determining the size and the form of the calcification, adding much more to the diagnosis, prognosis, and the resulting mode of therapy. Recent partial tear of the fibers of the lateral ligament of the knee (grade II sprain) causes intense pain and inability to achieve complete joint extension.…”
