ABSTRACT
Ultrasonography (US) is a valuable imaging modality used to assess joint and periarticular abnormalities in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). US can detect articular cartilage damage, bony changes, joint effusion, synovitis, and adjacent soft tissue lesions. In addition, US facilitates the monitoring of disease progression and effects of treatments. US is a safe and accessible bedside procedure that can improve diagnosis and management of patients. The objective of this article was to describe the clinical applications of US for patients with OA.
