The objective of the paper is to explore the application of musculoskeletal ultrasound technology to a real-time medical diagnosis of sports injuries. The Color Doppler Ultrasound Diagnosis Instrument was applied to inspect the injured parts of the athletes. The athletes were classified and diagnosed from the perspectives of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, and subcutaneous tissues. The proportions of tendon injuries and ligament injuries were higher, which were 41% and 34% respectively, while the proportions of bone injuries and joint injuries were lower. In general, knee injuries of athletes occupied 71.3%, while the ankle injuries occupied 22.5%. The results showed that the musculoskeletal ultrasound technology could obtain the injuries accurately and instantly in real-time, which helped the doctor make correct diagnosis and improved the speed of the next step of rehabilitation treatments given by physicians, proving the superior function of musculoskeletal ultrasound technology in sports injuries and the high value of application in sports events.

IntroductionBasketball is a contact sport with complex movements that include jumps, turns and changes in direction, which cause frequent musculoskeletal injuries in all regions of the body.ObjectiveThis is an integrative systematic review of the epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in basketball.MethodsThis is an integrative review based on the following sources of information: PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, LILACS, BBO-Biblioteca Brasileira de Odontologia, IBECS-Índice Bibliográfico Espanhol em Ciências da Saúde, nursing journals, dental journals and core clinical journals in the last 10 years with studies addressing the general epidemiology of sports injuries in basketball.ResultsIn total, 268 articles were selected, of which 11 were eligible for the integrative review. A total of 12 960 injuries were observed, most of which occurred in the lower limbs (63.7%), with 2832 (21.9%) ankle injuries and 2305 (17.8%) knee injuries. Injuries in the upper limbs represented 12%–14% of the total injuries. Children and adolescents received head injuries more often compared with the other age and skill categories. In the adult category, there was an increased prevalence of injuries in the trunk and spine. In the upper limbs, hands, fingers and wrists were affected more frequently than the shoulders, arms and forearms. In the masters’ category, there was an increase in the incidence of thigh injuries.ConclusionThe lower limbs were the most affected, with the ankle and knee joints having the highest prevalence of injuries regardless of gender and category. Further randomised studies, increased surveillance and epidemiological data collection are necessary to improve knowledge on sports injuries in basketball and to validate the effectiveness of preventive interventions.

Sports injuries frequently occur in athletes during competitive activities and practice routines, and the causes include cumulative fatigue from repetitive training, lack of warm-up exercises, and absence of motivation during competition. We aimed to determine the frequency and characteristics of lower extremity injuries in high school Taekwondo athletes. This study evaluated lower extremity sports injuries in 473 high school Taekwondo athletes. We conducted frequency and cross analyses. The questionnaire tools were developed to identify the characteristics of lower extremity injuries in Taekwondo athletes. Results: For injury by person, thigh injuries and re-injuries were most frequent. In non-contact injury, ankle injuries and re-injuries were most numerous. In the men’s lightweight category, thighs were injured the most in injury by person and ankles suffered the most non-contact injuries. In the men’s heavyweight category, the number of knee injuries was highest in injury by person, and the number of ankle injuries was highest in non-contact injury. In the women’s lightweight category, thighs suffered a higher number of injuries by person, whereas ankles had the highest number of non-contact injuries. In the women’s heavyweight category, thighs had the highest number of injuries by persons, whereas ankles had the highest number of non-contact injuries. The causes of ankle injury in weight classes were different in the two sexes. Conclusion: In this study, we confirmed that the sports damage suffered by student athletes mainly occurs as injuries in training situations without opponents. Our findings could help formulate basic guidelines for preventing sports injury in Taekwondo.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a clinical auxiliary examination for the diagnosis of musculoskeletal system injuries by ultrasound imaging technology. Objective: To explore the real time application value of musculoskeletal ultrasound in exercise. Methods: The MSKUS technique was used to diagnose and classify the types, positions and degrees of sports injuries. Results: A total of 35 athletes received a MSKUS diagnosis; 2 athletes were recommended to withdraw from competition after the diagnosis and return to China for treatment. Among the athletes, 9 cases (25.71%) suffered muscle injury, 22 (62.86%) suffered tendon, ligament and fascia injury, 2 (5.71%) suffered bone and cartilage injury, and 2 (5.71%) suffered bursitis. The main site of injury was the lower extremity (74.29%). Most of the injuries were mild, and only 2 cases were severe. Conclusions: Musculoskeletal ultrasound has certain advantages in the real-time diagnosis of tendons, ligaments and soft tissue in the field. Using musculoskeletal ultrasounds, doctors can assess the injury situation more quickly and accurately, and choose the next steps concerning exercise prescription and a rehabilitation treatment plan more effectively. Musculoskeletal ultrasound is real time, reliable and convenient, and has application value in sports. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.

With recent technologies, ultrasound has become an extremely useful imaging modality for evaluating children with acute abdominal symptoms. Higher frequency transducers can be used in children than in adults, owing to their small body size, the presence of less fat tissue in the abdominal wall and peritoneal cavity leading to higher resolution than computed tomography in many circumstances without exposure to ionizing radiation. Real-time ultrasound imaging provides information about motion such as peristalsis, and newly developed harmonic imaging enables improved resolution with decreased artifacts. Beyond gray-scale ultrasound, color Doppler ultrasound provides information on vascularity which increases in inflammatory processes. Point-of-care examination includes ability to focus on the symptomatic area of the patient while performing real-time ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound is sufficient for the diagnosis of several gastrointestinal diseases that cause acute abdominal pain in pediatric patients helping to an accurate patient management in the emergency settings. Common gastrointestinal indications for abdominal ultrasound in children are hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, acute appendicitis, intussusception, inflammatory bowel disease, malrotation, midgut volvulus, hernia, and necrotizing enterocolitis. In this chapter, typical sonographic findings of aforementioned diseases, and possible differential diagnoses were discussed.

In recent years, with the development of color Doppler ultrasound technology in obstetrics, this noninvasive, direct, convenient, and sensitive inspection method has become one of the best methods to observe the fetal circulation in the uterus. This paper discusses the clinical value of using transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound in the differential diagnosis of ovarian corpus luteum disease and ectopic pregnancy disease. This paper selects 100 cases of ectopic pregnancy and 100 cases of pregnant corpus luteum as the experimental research objects. Clinical analysis of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasonography was performed on all patients. In the process of measuring the patient’s ectopic pregnancy, the size of the patient’s adnexal mass is mainly measured, and the blood flow spectrum is measured. The clinical choice of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound method to distinguish ectopic pregnancy disease and corpus luteum pregnancy disease can play a significant value. It can be effectively diagnosed according to the type of disease, then effective methods can be studied for clinical treatment, the quality of life of patients with the two diseases can be significantly improved, and the clinical application value of color Doppler ultrasound can be improved.
