High-resolution ultrasonography has many advantages in the imaging of the musculoskeletal system, when compared to other imaging methods, particularly in superficial, easily accessible parts of the body. It is a perfect diagnostic tool for visualizing the most common pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, including the bursae. Inflammation of bursae is frequent, and it can mimic other diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Therefore, knowledge of normal ultrasound anatomy of the bursae, their exact location in the human body, and the sonographic signs of their most common pathologies is essential for establishing a quick and accurate diagnosis by ultrasound. Common conditions affecting bursae, leading to bursitis, include acute trauma, overuse syndromes, degenerative diseases, inflammatory conditions (rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout etc.), infections such as tuberculosis, synovial tumors and tumor-like conditions (pigmented villonodular synovitis, osteochondromatosis), and many more. This review article presents and explains ultrasound examples of the most frequent pathological conditions affecting bursae. Images include normal and pathological conditions of bursae around the shoulder joint, elbow, hip, knee, and ankle joint.

“…The transducer was oriented vertically to produce an anterior/posterior image of the femoral head in a transverse plane view, 20 immediately distal and parallel to the acetabular rim. The transducer was then translated medially and laterally until the femoral head was centered in the ultrasound imaging display.…”

“…A second line was drawn perpendicular to and extending from the midpoint of the first line. The second line served as the reference line for positioning the transducer for a longitudinal oblique view 20 across the equator of the femoral head during mobilization. This view also allowed visualization of the acetabular rim as a reference for measures of femoral head displacement.…”

“…It is easily accessible, lacks radiation exposure, allows for evaluation of the contralateral hip as well as dynamic maneuvers, and can be used to guide interventional procedures. However, US of the hip can be challenging due to the deep location of structures and complex anatomy (1) . Typically, high-frequency 5 to 18 MHz transducers are used.…”

This paper reviews ultrasound of the hip, which is a commonly requested examination for symptomatic hip issues. This includes both intra-articular and extra-articular causes of hip pain. Ultrasound is easily acces- sible, lacks radiation exposure, and allows for evaluation of the contralateral hip as well as assessment of dy- namic maneuvers. Ultrasound can be used to guide interventional procedures. Ultrasound of the hip can be challenging due to the deep location of structures and complex anatomy. Typically, high-frequency trans- ducers are used to examine the hip, however the choice of ultrasound transducer depends on the patient’s body habitus, with lower frequency transducers required to penetrate deep structures in obese patients. It is important to have an approach to ultrasound of the hip which includes assessment of the anterior, lateral, posterior, and medial aspects of the hip. The technique and relevant anatomy of each of these compart- ments are discussed as well as the use of Doppler examination of the hip. Several dynamic maneuvers can be performed to help determine the cause of hip pathology in various locations, and these are described and illustrated. Ultrasound is useful for guided procedures about the hip, and these indications will be reviewed.
