Abstract

Sonography of the foot and ankle offers many advantages. Currently, sonographic evaluation rivals or exceeds MR imaging for evaluation of tendons, joint and bursal pathology, and specific soft tissue pathology. The advantages of sonographic evaluation provide a strong impetus for applying this modality to imaging of foot and ankle pathology. Those who accept the challenge will have an expanded repertoire to offer in the pursuit of efficient and effective patient care.
