Ninety-three MSKUS evaluations were done for the ankle, 30 studies for the heel, and 241 for the rest of the foot. The most common MSKUS finding at the ankle was tenosynovitis, mostly in female patients; at the heel it was Achilles tendonitis, also mostly in female patients; and for the rest of the foot it was fluid collection and presence of foreign body, mainly in male patients. The number of different MSKUS abnormalities that were reported was 9 at the ankle, 9 at the heel, and 21 on the rest of the foot.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"st4\"><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>MSKUS has the potential for revealing a huge spectrum of abnormalities.
