Place the transducer in the axial plane and sweep it up and down over the dorsum of the ankle to examine the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus and extensor digitorum longus.

This work aims to present techniques for diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal sources of pain in the ankle and foot under ultrasound guidance, based on our experience.

The ankle can be subdivided into four major compartments: anterior, lateral, medial and posterior. Each of these anatomic regions include key structures that are essential for the normal …

To overcome this limitation, the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR) has issued technical standards for ultrasound examination of joints, including the shoulder, the …

Technical guidelines for ankle musculoskeletal ultrasound, covering scanning techniques, anatomy, and ligament assessment. For radiologists and sonographers.

We report the results of a Delphi-based consensus of 53 experts from the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology who reviewed the published literature for evidence on image …

The advantage of this sequence is that the TE is short enough to maintain sufficient signal for visualisation of the anatomy (like.

It is the only tendon in the ankle that does not have a synovial sheath involving it; instead, it has a peritendinous envelop that helps tendon gliding. The tendon should be examined from its …

High frequency linear transducers with frequencies ranging from 10-18 MHz should be used to evaluate ankle ligaments. On ultrasound, ankle ligaments are usually scanned along their long …
