Abstract
The sonographic examination of the shoulder has established itself in the diagnostic variety of imaging methods. Especially the results of the rotator cuff have contributed to the fact that arthrosonography is now indispensable for the shoulder examination. In this paper, another scan--the examination of the fossa axillaris--is added to the standard ones to find the early changes in the shoulder capsule in order to obtain efficient results in discovering the omarthritis.

Abstract
Inflammatory changes of the shoulder joint could be detected at a very early stage, when the clinical and radiological examinations were unremarkable. In 50% of the cases a rupture of the rotator cuff could be demonstrated. Only 10% of the shoulder joints had normal sonographic findings, whereas 50% were normal on clinical or radiological examination. Synovitis and effusion of the hand can be diagnosed very well by clinical examination, and can be documented in ultrasound. The sonographic diagnostic accuracy in tendon ruptures of the hand is lower than accuracy of the clinical examination. New technical developments may yield better results. Inflammatory changes of the hip joint are very difficult to diagnose by clinical examination. Synovitis, effusion and changes of the capsule can be better detected by ultrasound. Sonography of the hip joint has become part of our routine diagnostic programme, especially because early changes of the joint do not present clear symptoms.

Abstract
During the last two decades, sonography has become more and more important in the diagnosis of rheumatic diseases. With the development of high-frequency realtime transducers, detailed images of the musculoskeletal system can be provided. Furthermore, sonography or echocardiography is able to detect systemic manifestations of connective tissue diseases. Compared to plain films, which mainly evaluate bony lesions of inflammatory joint diseases, sonography is used to assess non-bony abnormalities (synovial membrane, cartilage, menisci, tendons) and synovial space. Pannus and effusion as indicators of inflammatory rheumatic disease can easily be examined by sonography. However, sonographic findings in rheumatic diseases are mostly nonspecific and can rarely be used to distinguish between different diagnoses, which is sometimes possible using plain x-rays (i.e., pencil-in-cup). Sonography has proven to be a meaningful diagnostic tool in evaluating tumors in subcutaneous tissue or muscles. The diagnostic results of musculoskeletal sonography are today compared to those obtained by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although musculoskeletal MRI can visualize bony and non-bony structures at the same time, sonography is still of particular interest in the diagnosis of rheumatic diseases, because it is a noninvasive, widely available, relatively inexpensive imaging modality which can be rapidly performed and repeated.

Abstract
The CT appearance of the distended trochanteric bursa noted in an asymptomatic patient is reported. The bursal distension was noted incidentally in a patient undergoing staging for renal cell carcinoma. On CT the distended bursa was noted as a septated low attenuation lesion at the site of insertion of the gluteus medius and minimus muscles on the greater trochanter of the femur. The lesion was not associated with any degenerative changes in the hip or greater trochanter. Distension of the trochanteric bursa may occur in asymptomatic patients and the appearance of the distended bursa must be recognized on imaging studies to avoid confusing it with other lesions.

Abstract
Soft-tissue changes in the anterior aspect of the knees were evaluated with ultrasonography among 96 randomly selected carpet and floor layers and 72 painters. The ultrasonography showed thickening of the prepatellar or superficial infrapatellar bursa in 49% of the carpet and floor layers and 7% of the house painters. Fluid collection in the prepatellar or superficial infrapatellar bursa was noted for 10 carpet and floor layers, and this ultrasonographic finding was associated with knee pain in kneeling postures.

Abstract
From 1967 to 1987, operative treatment was performed on 28 feet in 22 patients with retrocalcaneal bursitis due to prominent posterior superior margin of the calcaneus (Haglund disease). Through a lateral or medial approach, the prominent bone was removed. The results indicated that excision of the retrocalcaneal bursa was not necessary. Preoperative planning and intraoperative examination was necessary in order to remove an adequate amount of bone, which was the key for a successful result.

Abstract
Twenty-two patients (23 shoulders) with arthrographically verified adhesive capsulitis of the glenohumeral joint were treated by a combination of distention-arthrography, local anesthetics and steroids intraarticularly, and manipulation. The mean duration of the disease at the time of treatment was 14 months, and all patients suffered from disabling pain and stiffness. A rapid improvement was seen after treatment and at four to six weeks: 91% (21/23) of the patients had no or slight pain and 83% (19/23) of the patients had normal, or almost normal, range of motion. The treatment was well tolerated and no complications were recorded. The combination treatment for adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder is safe, yields immediate results, and is cost effective.

Abstract
The retrocalcaneal bursae, located between the posterior angle of the os calcis and the Achilles tendon, may become inflamed and hypertrophied. There are few objective tests available for the diagnosis of pain syndromes involving the hindfoot and it is often difficult to differentiate Achilles tendinitis and retrocalcaneal bursitis. Retrocalcaneal bursograms can provide further insight into chronic changes in the bursae associated with traumatic and inflammatory conditions. This report describes the anatomy of the retrocalcaneal bursa, the technique of its opacification, and the application of this technique to the diagnosis and treatment of painful hindfoot syndromes. In addition, the anatomy of the retrocalcaneal bursa was investigated further using latex casting techniques. Twelve cadaver limbs were injected with radiopaque latex casting material or renografin into the retrocalcaneal bursae. AP, lateral, and oblique radiographs were then obtained on the specimens. The size, capacity, and configuration of the postmortem bursae were measured and recorded. Subsequently, the cadaver limbs injected with the latex material were cooled and dissection was made of the retrocalcaneal bursae. The latex bursal molds were measured, graphically recorded, and photographed. Fifteen patients with signs and symptoms of retrocalcaneal bursitis and eight asymptomatic patients were selected for this study and injected with radiopaque material into the bursae. Anteroposterior, lateral, and oblique radiographs were then obtained. The size, capacity, and configuration of the retrocalcaneal bursae were measured and recorded. The anatomic characteristics noted from the latex bursal molds correlated well with the findings on bursography. Bursographic findings in patients with retrocalcaneal bursitis can provide insight into the diagnosis and clinical management of this disorder.

Abstract
The osteoid osteoma is a rare, benign neoplasm of bone, most frequently located in the lower extremity (head of the tibia). Because of its rarity and its mostly rather unspecific clinical symptoms, diagnosis of the tumor is frequently problematic. Ideally, osteosclerosis surrounding a central focus (nidus) is revealed by radiology. Radiological imaging seems to be the most effective tool in reaching the correct diagnosis. Operative resection of the nidus is the only known curative therapy for osteoid osteoma.

Abstract
We report a case of infective iliopsoas bursitis, and to our knowledge a similar case has not been described. The anatomical relation between the bursa and the hip, and related pathological conditions are reviewed. The contribution of CT-guided catheterisation is emphasised as it allows aspiration of fluid, injection of radio-opaque material and lavage.

Abstract
We determined the diagnostic accuracy of sonography for the assessment of injury to the Achilles tendon. After anatomic investigations in three human cadavers, we performed a clinical study in 24 healthy volunteers and 73 symptomatic patients referred for achillodynia or signs of heel thickening or both in whom a clinical diagnosis of acute total rupture was excluded. High-resolution real-time sonography was performed and the results were compared with final clinical diagnoses (55 patients) and surgical findings (18 patients). Fifty-two of the patients had been involved in various sporting activities (long-distance runners, jumpers, and basketball players), three patients had familial hypercholesterolemia, five patients had systemic inflammatory disease, and 13 patients had no known underlying cause. Anatomic investigation demonstrated accurate assessment of tendon structure and thickness. Sonograms were abnormal in 53 patients (sensitivity, 0.72; specificity, 0.83), and the extent of structural disorders of the tendon could be assessed properly. Abnormalities occurred in the form of tendon swelling (45%), abnormal tendon structure (42%), rupture (15%), and peritendinous lesions (47%). No changes were detected in low-grade disease of short duration, which suggests symptoms caused by functional disorders. Sonography is valuable in the diagnosis of various lesions of the Achilles tendon and its surrounding tissue. Furthermore, it can be used to estimate the degree of tendon abnormality and to differentiate between functional and morphologic conditions.

Abstract
Inflammation of the iliopsoas bursa is a common manifestation of a wide array of inflammatory, degenerative, and traumatic musculoskeletal conditions. The clinical presentation of iliopsoas bursitis is variable, and includes pain, mass lesion, or compression syndromes of the inguinal compartment. Affected individuals frequently have underlying synovitis of the hip or a history of occupational or recreational injury. Early and accurate diagnosis is facilitated by appropriate radiographic studies.

Abstract
Painful shoulders are a frequent pathology and its specific diagnosis and therapeutic control are common challenges to medical professionals. To solve these problems a non invasive morphologic method of study--Real Time Ultrasonography--is presented. A standardized routine ultrasonographic technique using static and dynamic imaging was applied to the analysis of fifty patients whose clinical data suggested soft tissue pathology of that joint. Initial sonographic diagnostic data were compared with clinical signs and x-ray information and in some cases arthrographic and surgical observation as well. The utility of sonography in the therapeutic control was specially evaluated in a sub-group of twenty patients with clinical and ultrasonographic evidence of tendinitis or bursitis at that location and submitted to physiatric treatment. Sonographic criteria established in terms of echogenicity, dimensions and dynamic scanning performance are described and its value as diagnostic and therapeutic control tools are discussed. Our results suggest that real time ultrasonography is a useful method to confirm the diagnosis and could be indispensable to follow and control the therapeutic results in Painful Shoulders.

Abstract
Radiographic measurements from the lateromedial projection of the equine foot were compared in three groups of horses. Group 1 consisted of 143 normal horses, group 2 were 60 horses with clinical navicular disease and group 3 were 161 horses with clinical and radiographic navicular disease. Several measurements tended to be larger in group 3 than group 1. An enlargement of the navicular bone was observed in proximodistal and dorsopalmar directions. Partial enlargement of the pedal bone was observed in groups 2 and 3. Few differences were observed between age classes. All horses aged four years and over had an increased length of the hoof in the dorosopalmar direction and a decrease of the cranial angle of the hoof. Enlargement of the navicular bone fits well into the concept of osteoarthrosis. The pedal bone was partly engaged. These findings may be an expression of a regional acceleratory phenomenon.

Abstract
Iliopsoas bursitis is often overlooked as the cause of symptoms involving the inguinal area and lower extremity. We report 8 patients with iliopsoas bursitis. All had either osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis of the hip but only 3 had significant hip pain. Patients presented with an inguinal mass and hip pain (2); unilateral leg swelling (2); inguinal mass and unilateral leg swelling (1); hip pain (1); pelvic mass with bladder compression (1); and no symptoms (1). The diagnosis was entertained initially in only 2 patients. Computed tomography was useful in establishing the diagnosis.
