Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) has become almost indispensable in the rheumatology settings nowadays, allowing early diagnosis, careful guidance during procedures such as joint injections and therapy monitoring. Nonetheless, the applicability of MSUS in pediatric population is still limited. Recently, a standardized MSUS examination procedure in pediatric patients with rheumatic diseases, definitions for synovitis and the sonographic features of joints in healthy children has been developed. Also, important data on age-related  vascularization and ossification of joints in children have been published. Much work still needs to be done in the field. As juvenile idiopathic arthritis seems to be the most common use of MSUS in pediatric rheumatology, specific definitions and assessment techniques for enthesitis, tenosynovitis, bone and cartilage damage in children are very much expected. In this article, we will review briefly the current evidence-based knowledge regarding MSUS potential applications in the pediatric rheumatology clinical practice, along with an overview of the recent information about US appearance of musculoskeletal structures in healthy children.

ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) video contents on YouTube, regarding their quality, reliability, and educational value. Method The first three pages for the keywords ‘Musculoskeletal Ultrasound’, ‘joint ultrasound’, and ‘articular ultrasound’ were searched through YouTube website. The quality of the videos was assessed according to the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Guidelines and EULAR Competency Assessment in MSUS. The reliability was evaluated with modified DISCERN tool. Results After the exclusion criteria applied, 58 videos were evaluated. The video quality analysis showed that probe holding (68.9%; median: 5, range: 0–5), scanning technique (63.8%; median: 4, range: 0–5), identification of anatomic structures (72.4%; median: 4, range: 0–5), and description of ultrasound findings (65.5%; median: 4, range: 0–5) were found to be sufficient, whereas ultrasound machine settings adjustments (1.7%; median: 0, range: 0–4) and final ultrasound diagnosis (12.1%; median: 0, range: 0–5) were insufficient. The total median value of the modified DISCERN scale was 2 (percentile: 2–2, range: 0–3). Conclusion MSUS video contents on YouTube are insufficient for educational purposes on MSUS training. There is a need for affordable, easily accessed, standardized, and peer-reviewed online training programmes on MSUS and MSUS-guided injections.

<p><strong>Objective: </strong>Iliopsoas injury and strain is a commonly diagnosed disease process, especially amongst working and sporting canines. There has been very little published literature regarding iliopsoas injuries and there is no information regarding the ultrasound evaluation of abnormal iliopsoas muscles. This manuscript is intended to describe the ultrasound findings in 73 canine agility athletes who had physical examination findings consistent with iliopsoas discomfort. The population was chosen given the high incidence of these animals for the development of iliopsoas injury; likely due to repetitive stress.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Medical records of 73 agility performance canines that underwent musculoskeletal ultrasound evaluation of bilateral iliopsoas muscle groups were retrospectively reviewed. Data included signalment, previous radiographic findings, and ultrasound findings. A 3-tier grading scheme for acute strains was used while the practitioner also evaluated for evidence of chronic injury and bursitis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The majority of pathologies were localised to the tendon of insertion, with the majority being low grade I-II strains (80.8%). Tendon fibre disruption (71.2%) and indistinct hypoechoic lesions (91.8%) were the most common of acute changes noted. Hyperechoic chronic changes were noted in 84.9 percent of cases. Acute and chronic changes were commonly seen together (62.8%).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound was used to identify lesions of the iliopsoas tendon consistent with acute and chronic injury, as well as identifying the region of pathology. The majority of agility performance dogs had low grade acute strains based on the tiered system, with mixed acute and chronic lesions being noted frequently.</p><p><strong>Application: </strong>Diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound provides a non-invasive diagnostic modality for patients suspected of having an iliopsoas strain.</p><br /> <img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/oa-icon.jpg" alt="Open Access" /> <img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/pr-icon.jpg" alt="Peer Reviewed" />
