[Ultrasonography of muscles and tendons].
Technical progress, namely in the field of US probes, allow a more accurate study of muscles and tendons. The US appearance of muscles and tendons is closely related to their fibrous structure. Knowledge of the anatomy of fibrous structures helps understand normal and abnormal images. A wide range of lesions, of muscles and tendons, including trauma (luxation and rupture), infection, tumors as well as degeneration (tendinitis) is presented.
