Abstract

Abstract: Musculoskeletal ultrasound offers a unique ability to perform dynamic, real-time assessment of musculoskeletal structures during motion, providing functional information that is not available with static imaging modalities. Dynamic ultrasound remains underutilized in pediatric sports-related musculoskeletal evaluation, where skeletal immaturity and pediatric-specific injuries present distinct diagnostic challenges.

Abstract: This review outlines the principles and clinical applications of dynamic ultrasound in the pediatric athlete. Common dynamic assessment techniques in the pediatric population are illustrated across frequently evaluated joints, including the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, hip and pelvis, knee, and foot and ankle. Applications include evaluation of joint instability, ligamentous injury, tendon subluxation or snapping, apophyseal avulsion injuries, and motion-dependent conditions.

Abstract: Dynamic ultrasound complements clinical and biomechanical assessment in pediatric athletes. Familiarity with pediatric-specific anatomy, conditions, and dynamic techniques can expand diagnostic confidence and enhance the role of ultrasound in sports-related musculoskeletal imaging.

超声在动态运动评估中的作用。

摘要：肌肉骨骼超声提供了一种独特的能力，可以在运动过程中对肌肉骨骼结构进行动态、实时的评估，提供静态成像模式无法获得的功能信息。动态超声在儿童运动相关的肌肉骨骼评估中仍未充分利用，其中骨骼不成熟和儿科特异性损伤提出了独特的诊断挑战。摘要：本文综述了动态超声在小儿运动员中的原理及临床应用。在儿科人群中常见的动态评估技术通过经常评估的关节来说明，包括肩膀、肘部、手腕和手、髋关节和骨盆、膝盖、脚和脚踝。应用包括评估关节不稳定、韧带损伤、肌腱半脱位或折断、椎突撕脱伤和运动依赖性疾病。摘要：动态超声补充了儿科运动员的临床和生物力学评估。熟悉儿科特定的解剖、条件和动态技术可以扩大诊断的信心，增强超声在运动相关肌肉骨骼成像中的作用。

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.
