Musculoskeletal ultrasound has made a huge impact on the diag­nostic and therapeutic care of extremity injury. It allows the clini­cian a dynamic assessment of pathologic processes, and the patient can even tell the scanner exactly where “it hurts!” So both painful sites and sites of functional loss can be readily assessed, as can ligamentous laxity of joints, localization of cystic formation, tendon ruptures, and the like. It is a tool that can be mastered like any other with practice. Both primary care physicians and ortho­pedic surgeons alike have championed its value. In the sports world, the portability of these devices has proven their value on the Olympic ski slopes to professional sporting venues. Interested persons can be taught to scan, from athletic trainers to technolo­gists. All have the ability to learn this skill. Ultrasound has proven to be of value not only on the earth in countries around the world, but also “out of this world” on the International Space Station where astronauts are taught the skills of ultrasound, and images of concern are beamed back to clinical specialists on earth.
