Abstract
Musculotendinous injuries represent a major concern in sports medicine, with significant implications for athlete recovery and performance. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, in particular, play a crucial role in diagnosing and monitoring these injuries, guiding treatment strategies, and estimating prognosis. Understanding the anatomy and distribution of connective tissue is fundamental to identifying and classifying musculotendinous injuries accurately. This review focuses on the imaging features of musculotendinous injuries and their evolution, emphasizing the role of connective tissue and the anatomical differences influencing injury patterns. It also examines current grading systems and their prognostic value, highlighting the need for muscle-specific subclassifications to improve accuracy in predicting return to play.
期刊介绍：
Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology is a review journal that is devoted to musculoskeletal and associated imaging techniques. The journal''s topical issues encompass a broad spectrum of radiological imaging including body MRI imaging, cross sectional radiology, ultrasound and biomechanics. The journal also covers advanced imaging techniques of metabolic bone disease and other areas like the foot and ankle, wrist, spine and other extremities.
The journal''s content is suitable for both the practicing radiologist as well as residents in training.
