Foreword

Technological progress in hard- and software of ultrasound equipment for clinical use has been tremendous in recent years. Exquisite morphological visualisation of soft tissues and related pathology is now possible in clinical daily routine work. Periarticular anatomy and pathology of ligaments, bursae or tendons can now be depicted with unprecedented precision by sonography. This technique provides important support for better management of patients affected by trauma or diseases of the locomotor system. The important role of high resolution sonography in the visualisation and management of traumatic or tumoral conditions of th
