Abstract
Purpose of Review
Hamstring muscle injuries are common amongst athletes and can result in significant time away from sport. This review article evaluates and discusses the current literature on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) vs. musculoskeletal ultrasound (US) for prevention, diagnosis, and management of hamstring muscle injuries.
Recent Findings
MRI has commonly been used for diagnosis of hamstring injuries and can offer prognostic information regarding return to play. US offers similar clinical information with some notable advantages over MRI.
Summary
US is a valuable imaging modality that can be used for diagnosis and prognosis of hamstring injuries and also help guide return to play after injury.
