“…The stellate form usually follows muscle contusion from a direct blow, whereas the linear form typically follows muscle strain and commonly surrounds the MTJ. The lesion does not show any change with contraction of the muscle belly [24,25].…”

Muscle injuries can be classified into strain injuries and contusions. Depending on the type of injury, different complications may occur, which in turn can be divided into early, intermediate and delayed complications. A prompt diagnosis of complications allows early treatment and permits to avoid harmful sequelae. Imaging studies, ultrasonography in particular, allow (recognizing) the assessment of complications whenever clinically suspected. In this article the most frequent complications of muscle injuries are presented. Keywords Muscle injuries Á Complications Á UltrasoundRiassunto Le lesioni muscolari possono essere classificate in lesioni contusive e lesioni distrattive. A seconda del tipo di lesione, possono insorgere complicanze differenti, che a loro volta possono essere suddivise in complicanze precoci, intermedie e tardive. Un rapido e preciso riconoscimento delle complicanze consente di intervenire precocemente e permette di evitare conseguenze dannose. L'imaging, in particolar modo l'ecografia, permette il riconoscimento di complicanze ogni qualvolta esse siano sospettate clinicamente. In questo articolo vengono presentate le complicanze più frequenti delle lesioni muscolari.

Musculoskeletal ultrasound utilises high-frequency linear transducers to produce high-resolution images of soft tissue structures. It is an increasingly useful tool in the assessment of both acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries; it is relatively cheap, portable and can be used to facilitate targeted injections. In this review paper, we aim to provide a summary on the normal and abnormal appearances of skeletal tissue in the setting of acute and chronic lower limb sporting injuries.

“…An intermediate-frequency linear array probe (7-10 MHz) is optimal for imaging skeletal muscle (Woodhouse and McNally 2011). Harmonic and compound imaging and post-processing algorithms of the returned signal may be employed to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio and tissue contrast (Entrekin et al 2001).…”

“…Note the small haematoma at the epicentre of the injury, with somewhat geographic margins (thick arrow). The player returned to play at 2 weeks post injury of the enthesis, musculotendinous junction, intermuscular septa and epimysium (Woodhouse and McNally 2011). Dynamic examination (active and passive movement) may be performed to assess for subtle abnormalities, function and lesion stability.…”
