Abstract

Medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries are prevalent in sports and other physical activities and constitute a significant cause of knee pain and dysfunction. Traditional diagnostic modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are often utilized for their detailed visualization capabilities. However, musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK-US) has emerged as a pivotal diagnostic tool in the evaluation of MCL injuries due to its non-invasive nature, cost-effectiveness, and dynamic imaging capabilities. This article reviews the utility and advantages of MSK-US in diagnosing MCL injuries, with a specific focus on its implications for rehabilitation providers. We discuss the technical aspects of ultrasound (US) imaging, including the sonographic appearance of MCL injuries across various grades, and compare its diagnostic accuracy with other imaging modalities such as MRI. Additionally, the role of US in monitoring the healing process and guiding rehabilitation strategies is explored. This review emphasizes the practical application of MSK-US in clinical settings, offering rehabilitation providers a comprehensive understanding of how US can be integrated into patient management protocols to enhance outcomes in patients with MCL injuries.

内侧副韧带损伤的诊断性肌肉骨骼超声波:康复应用。
内侧副韧带(MCL)损伤在运动和其他体育活动中十分常见,是造成膝关节疼痛和功能障碍的重要原因。磁共振成像(MRI)等传统诊断方法因其详细的可视化功能而被广泛使用。然而,肌肉骨骼超声(MSK-US)因其无创性、成本效益和动态成像功能,已成为评估 MCL 损伤的重要诊断工具。本文回顾了 MSK-US 在诊断 MCL 损伤方面的实用性和优势,并特别关注其对康复服务提供者的影响。我们讨论了超声(US)成像的技术方面,包括不同等级 MCL 损伤的声像图外观,并将其诊断准确性与核磁共振成像等其他成像方式进行了比较。此外,还探讨了 US 在监测愈合过程和指导康复策略方面的作用。这篇综述强调了 MSK-US 在临床环境中的实际应用,让康复服务提供者全面了解如何将 US 纳入患者管理方案,以提高 MCL 损伤患者的治疗效果。
