ABSTRACT
Physical examination of knee ligament injuries often is considered subjective and imprecise as the result of various factors affecting its reliability. Magnetic resonance imaging is widely used but lacks information on ligament function and is costly. Stress radiography is commonly employed, but alternatives are sought because of radiation exposure and the need for a physician's presence during the procedure. Ultrasonography represents a noninvasive, rapid, and cost-effective method for assessing knee injuries. This Technical Note presents stress ultrasonography protocols for evaluating medial and lateral tibiofemoral openings in patients with posteromedial corner and/or posterolateral corner injuries. The ultrasonography examination parameters are detailed for both the medial collateral ligament and lateral collateral ligament evaluation. Studies have associated certain degrees of tibiofemoral opening with knee ligament injuries, aiding surgeons in surgical decision-making. Examination with stress ultrasonography offers a dynamic and reproducible method without adverse effects for patients, potentially expediting the diagnosis and treatment of multiligament knee injuries.
