Abstract
High-resolution ultrasound (US) can be used to assess soft tissue abnormalities in the foot and ankle. Compared to MRI, it has lower cost, is widely available, allows portability and dynamic assessment. US is an excellent method to evaluate foot and ankle tendon injuries, ligament tears, plantar fascia, peripheral nerves, and the different causes of metatarsalgia.
