Robert C Manske, Michael Voight, Chris Wolfe, Phil Page
PMID 39246412WHAT IT FOUND
This review describes how ultrasound can image medial collateral ligament injuries but reports no patient outcomes or diagnostic accuracy data.
It offers no evidence that this method changes rehabilitation results compared to standard care.
What this paper is
This is a narrative review describing how musculoskeletal ultrasound is used to diagnose medial collateral ligament injuries. It explains the technique and its theoretical advantages but reports no new patients, trials, or outcome data, so there are no findings here to change clinical practice.
