Ultrasonography in the evaluation of muscular trauma
B. D. Fornage, D. H. Touche, P. Segal and M. D. Rifkin
Ultrasonography was performed to assess muscle injuries in 120
advanced-level athletes. Real-time sonography was chosen for evaluation
since it allowed a comparison between the muscles at rest and during
contraction. Pathologic patterns are reported and compared with the normal
ultrasonic muscular anatomy. Twenty-five subjects were referred for
surgery. All lesions had abnormal sonograms, and these were correctly
described in 21 cases (84 per cent). Ultrasonic investigation is a
reliable, useful method to confirm, locate and evaluate traumatic muscular
lesions and to assess the need for surgical repair.
