Abstract

Ultrasound imaging of the musculoskeletal system is widely used for diagnosis and treatment. Pathologies occurring in the knee joint and the distal femur are among the challenging areas for ultrasound diagnosis due to their complex structural nature. However, advancements in ultrasound technology have made it possible to assess and diagnose superficial structures using ultrasound. Moreover, ultrasound-guided procedures have gained significant popularity due to their advantages in terms of efficacy and safety. This paper aims to explore the ultrasound findings of commonly occurring conditions in the knee joint and proximal femur and discuss ultrasound-guided interventions that can be performed in these areas for treatment.
