“…For partial-thickness or non-displaced complete tears, shear wave Evaluation of the knee joint with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging elastography and power Doppler imaging may prove useful to assess collateral ligament healing, particularly in high-performance athletes (32,33) . Laxity of an injured ligament is associated with decreasing shear wave velocities, or "softening" of the ligament, and may be associated with a functional decline (32) . A biomechanical elastography study identified the greatest relative stiffness of the MCL during full knee extension and suggested that return to play could be determined by loading the injured collateral ligament at progressively lower flexion angles, while assessing for gradually improving ligament stiffness (34) .…”

The knee joint relies on a combination of deep and superficial structures for stability and function. Both ultrasound and high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging are extremely useful in evaluating these struc- tures and associated pathology. This article reviews a combination of critical anatomic structures, joint abnormalities, and pathologic conditions at the knee joint, while highlighting the merits, limitations, and pitfalls of the two imaging modalities. A clear appreciation of each method paired with its relative strengths will aid in expediting diagnosis and appropriate treatment for a wide range of knee joint conditions.
