Ultrasound-Guided Diagnosis and Intervention for pAinful Knees: Sonoanatomy Revisited

Validity of Indirect Ultrasound Findings in Acute Anterior Cruciate Ligament Ruptures

“…A linear probe was used in all cases. Although that type of probe allows for adequate assessment of the caudal PCL, it can also result in underdiagnosis of injuries at the cranial potion of the ulnar collateral ligament …”

Dynamic Ultrasound Examination and Guided Injection for Iliotibial Band Impingement Due to Femoral Osteophytes

“…First, older adults with knee pain should be cautiously evaluated with regard to the specific/underlying cause. 1,2 Herein, dynamic examination along with sonopalpation would significantly be contributory. Likewise, once the exact cause is found, a better-targeted intervention can be planned.…”

“…The iliotibial band is a structure located lateral to the knee, and its friction/overuse is commonly described (especially) in young athletic adults as “runners’ knee.” We present this—otherwise trivial—case of ours for the following reasons. First, older adults with knee pain should be cautiously evaluated with regard to the specific/underlying cause 1,2 . Herein, dynamic examination along with sonopalpation would significantly be contributory.…”

Authors' Response to the Letter to the Editor on “Ultrasound imaging of the posterior cruciate ligament and its mimic, the posterior meniscofemoral ligament”

“…We also want to elaborate why the PMFL was not precisely labeled in the initial draft. On top of the PMFL lies the popliteal oblique ligament (POL), 2 appearing as a thick broad layer of hyperechoic tissues. The POL originates from the lateral expansion of the semimembranosus tendon and the posterior aspect of the medial tibia.…”
