Abstract
Perfect knowledge of the complex anatomy of the structures involved and high-frequency probes are necessary for the application of ultrasound (US) in musculoskeletal imaging. Thanks to the introduction of “small parts” or “superficial soft tissue” probes with high frequency (over 7.5 MHz), the US study of small structures in very superficial sites is increasingly used in clinical practice because it provides answers to very specific diagnostic queries.
