Sonoelastography of the Shoulder: A Narrative Review.

Sonoelastography is a relatively new non-invasive imaging tool to assess the qualitative and quantitative biomechanical properties of various tissues. Two types of sonoelastography (SE) are commonly explored: strain and shear wave. Sonoelastography can be used in multiple medical subspecialties to assess pathological tissular changes by obtaining mechanical properties, shear wave speed, and strain ratio data.

Accuracy of Ultrasound-Guided Pudendal Nerve Block in the Ischial Spine and Alcock's Canal Levels: A Cadaveric Study.

Background: Blockade of the pudendal nerve (PN) using ultrasound (US) guidance has been described at the levels of the ischial spine and Alcock's canal. However, no study has been conducted to compare anatomical accuracy between different approaches in targeting the PN.

Objective: To investigate the accuracy of US-guided injection of the PN at the ischial spine and Alcock's canal levels.

Accuracy of Two Ultrasound-Guided Coracohumeral Ligament Injection Approaches: A Cadaveric Study.

Background: Glenohumeral idiopathic adhesive capsulitis is a common shoulder condition that hinders functionality. Addressing the pathology has been extensively researched. Ultrasound (US)-guided injections have shown their efficacy.

Stress Fractures of the Calcaneus Diagnosed by Sonography: Report of 8 Cases.

We present a retrospective review of 8 patients (6 women and 2 men, with an age range of 46-80 years; mean age, 60.2 years) in whom sonography was used to diagnose a calcaneal stress fracture. Sonography was performed because of a clinical suspicion of soft tissue injuries.

Flexor carpi radialis tendon ultrasound pictorial essay.

Disorders of the flexor carpi radialis tendon (FCRt) are often missed even though they are a relatively frequent cause of volar radial wrist pain. They can manifest as tenosynovitis, tendinopathy, synovial sheath cysts with or without scaphoid-trapezoid-trapezium (STT) joint pathology, and partial or complete rupture. Because FCRt disorders often present with non-specific symptoms and a non-diagnostic clinical examination, imaging is often necessary for accurate evaluation and therapeutic planning.

Stress fractures of the ankle malleoli diagnosed by ultrasound: a report of 6 cases.

Objective: To present the ultrasound appearance of stress fractures (SF) of the ankle malleoli.

Material And Methods: We present a retrospective review of 6 patients (4 women and 2 men, with an age range of 24-52 years, mean age of 39 years) in which ultrasound diagnosed, together with the clinical findings, an SF of the ankle malleoli. For all of these patients ultrasound was the first imaging technique applied because of a clinical suspicion of soft tissue injuries following excessive exertion.
