ABSTRACT

Ultrasound is used as a useful diagnostic tool in the examination of the musculoskeletal system. Ultrasound provides a real-time image without ionizing radiation and is a noninvasive examination method. In addition, ultrasound is in the spotlight because the provision of dynamic imaging of small structures and the evaluation of ligaments, muscles and tendons, superficial tumors and peripheral nerves. Especially, due to the anatomical characteristics around the ankle, where important anatomical structures are exposed just under the skin, ultrasound is recognized as more important test with diagnostic significance in the field of foot and ankle than in other fields of orthopedics. This review aims to help the understanding of the anatomical structures around the ankle through an ultrasound approach. In addition, if normal and pathological findings of anatomic structures can be distinguished through this review, readers will be able to better understand the pathophysiology of anatomic structures.
