The technical progress of mobile US devices has led to increasing use of ultrasound as a primary diagnostic tool. New applications such as elastography and 3\u200aD vascularization are used for special indications.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Method\u2002The purpose of this review is to present the current status of ultrasound in the diagnosis of sports injuries and sport traumatology including established applications and new technical advances. US is presented both in its comparison to other imaging modalities and as a sole diagnostic tool.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results and Conclusion\u2002US can be used for initial diagnosis to improve the clinical examination and for intensive short-term follow-up imaging. The main areas of application are currently the diagnosis of acute muscle and tendon injuries as well as overuse injuries. In particular, the exclusion of structural muscle injuries can be adequately ensured with US in the majority of anatomical regions. The recently published guideline on fracture ultrasound has strengthened the clinical evidence in this area, especially in comparison to conventional radiography and in the development of algorithms and standards. The increasing use of mobile ultrasound equipment with adequate image quality makes US a location-independent modality that can also be used at training sites or during road games.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Key points:\u2002<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Citation Format\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2185-8264","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,10]],"date-time":"2023-11-10T00:46:20Z","timestamp":1699577180000},"page":"440-449","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Ultrasound in sports traumatology"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"196","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1151-9935","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Markus Herbert","family":"Lerchbaumer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Charit\u00e9 Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin, Germany"},{"name":"1.
