Abstract
Ultrasound is a very useful tool in both diagnostic and interventional procedures in sports events. Ultrasound can provide a quick evaluation of a particular area affected during a sports injury which would then help the sports physician decide on what to do in an injury, Its portability can guide a physician decide whether to let the athlete return to play or refer him to the hospital for a more thorough evaluation of the injured site. A well-trained, qualified, and competent physician-sonologist acquainted with common sports injuries can make a lot of difference in making sure the imaging device provides relevant information as to the defects seen if there is any, and subsequently make the necessary decisions in the treatment process. Ultrasound complements a thorough history taking and physical examination. Despite its usefulness in the sidelines of sports activities, ultrasound has its own inherent limitations where critical injuries may not be diagnosed at the time of injury. This is where advance imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT scan may be needed to make definitive diagnosis. Findings from these imaging modalities provide the key in deciding appropriate therapies such as between conservative therapies or surgical intervention. Depending on the degree and severity of injuries, conservative therapies play an important role during the acute phase of an injury. The use of PRICE principle is important as an initial conservative intervention during the acute phase of an injury. Regenerative injection therapy is becoming popular as an effective intervention during the acute phase of an injury and has the potential to heal injured tissues in a conservative way. It also has the capacity to establish and restore the functionality of the injured athlete in the short term. With the aid of ultrasound imaging both in diagnosing and guided intervention, regenerative injection therapy could be an immediate and effective intervention in helping athletes recover from an injury faster and thus shorten the time for the return to play. With its potential to provide effective results, caution is needed in selecting patients/athletes who would most positively respond to this regenerative treatment and not as an all inclusive treatment for all sports injuries. It is in this sense that this chapter was written in order to provide sound and scientifically-based evidences to guide practitioners not only to make timely use of ultrasound both as a diagnostic and interventional tool, but also to examine the role of regenerative intervention therapy procedures in sports injuries.
