This publication presents dynamic knee ultrasound as a practical extension of routine MSK scanning. Its main value is that it shows pathology during motion, stress testing, or symptom reproduction, helping detect instability, impingement, snapping structures, moving loose bodies, fluid redistribution, and ligament or tendon lesions that may be less clear on static imaging alone.
Interesting highlights:
Dynamic scanning can improve assessment of the ACL, PCL, menisci, and collateral ligaments during drawer, valgus, or varus stress tests.
It helps visualize fluid behavior, including effusion, synovitis, bursitis, Baker cyst communication, and fat pad impingement.
It is especially useful for snapping or motion-related problems, such as snapping pes anserine tendons, biceps or popliteus tendon snapping, iliotibial band friction, and meniscal instability.
Who is this article most useful for?
MSK ultrasound clinicians, sports medicine and rehabilitation physicians, radiologists, and anyone assessing dynamic knee pain, instability, or snapping symptoms.
