Key Points
• Ultrasound can be used to assess subperiosteal or extraosseous bone tumour extension.
• Ultrasound can accurately assess the cartilage cap of an osteochondroma.
• Bone tumours are frequently amenable to sonographically guided core needle biopsy with excellent results.
• Ultrasound can prove useful in the detection of local tumour recurrence, especially in the presence of an endoprosthetic replacement.
• Ultrasound may have a future role in the assessment of tumour response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
