title: [Experimental and clinical results of ultrasound imaging in sports orthopedic soft tissue diseases].
abstract: Ultrasound scanning of the shoulders, knee joints, Achilles' tendon and muscles is presented as a noninvasive technique for the diagnosis of joint and soft tissue disorders. In experimental ultrasound studies on shoulders, knee joints, tendons and muscles of cadavers the diagnostic value of the method is assessed. The experimental observations were compared with clinical results collected in three years from 610 patients. Particularly characteristic findings in sports-induced soft tissue lesions are reviewed as examples.
