Ultrasound (US) of the fingers: anatomy and pathology.

ABSTRACT: The development and evolution of high-frequency probes in current ultrasound systems have enabled us to obtain more detailed information about small and superficial structures, such as the fingers, which are frequently injured in a significant portion of the population (traumatic injuries account for 28% of musculoskeletal system injuries) and can result in substantial disability for affected patients. Due to its superior accessibility, resolution, and ability to perform dynamic studies, ultrasound has become the imaging technique of choice for evaluating these conditions. It covers a range of pathologies, including tendinous, ligamentous, and articular injuries, as well as soft tissue tumors and pseudotumors, which will be described in detail in the main body of the article.
