Summary
This review discusses the ultrasound appearances of various musculoskeletal infections, including cellulitis, infective tenosynovitis, pyomyositis, soft-tissue abscesses, septic arthritis, acute and chronic osteomyelitis, and postoperative infections.
Additionally, it covers the unique sonographic features of less common musculoskeletal infections such as necrotizing fasciitis and rice body formation in atypical mycobacterial tenosynovitis and bursitis. Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a valuable tool for diagnosing and managing these infections in clinical practice.
