[Magnetic resonance imaging in tendon and ligament injuries of the ankle. Our personal experience].

While Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become a routine diagnostic method in knee studies, little has been published about ankle injuries. This is probably due to the anatomic complexity of the bone and ligament structures of this joint. Our study was aimed at assessing the yield of MRI of the ankle with a cost-effective, compact, low-field (0.

[Ultrasonography of the shoulder: the acromioclavicular joint].

In 95% of the patients complaining of shoulder pain, pain is consequent to mechanical impingement of the coraco-acromial arch on the rotator cuff. Acromioclavicular joint conditions play a major role (well over 50%) in initiating the process. This study was aimed at assessing the value of acromioclavicular investigations during shoulder US studies.
