Abstract
Even though clinical examination will always be the most important part in diagnosis of sports injuries or overuse, imaging often helps to find the differential diagnosis and can also help to choose the correct surgical approach. For the sports medicine surgeon, imaging of sports-specific musculoskeletal injuries has to have different aims. Imaging has to illustrate and explain the diagnosis, not only for the physician but also for the athlete. In this chapter, the impact of imaging to the sports medicine surgeon is reviewed using the hip, knee, and ankle joints as examples.
