title: [Ultrasound morphology of the healthy and diseased hand].
abstract: Ultrasonography of the hand is rarely applied, so normal and pathological findings remain unfamiliar to daily routine. Although all anatomical structures can be identified by this method, the median and ulnar nerves may be difficult to demonstrate, so they are often identified only by exclusion. Ultrasound is a non-invasive method and very helpful in diagnosing pathological changes, such as ganglions and other tumors, synovialitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendon injuries, and anatomical malformations.
