    AbstractWith the high cost and limited availability of gold standard imaging modalities, ultrasound has become an alternative in many musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries. Ultrasound has become increasingly portable and readily available in many acute care settings. Its ability to diagnose MSK injuries and help guide management has the potential to improve patient safety and flow. Ultrasound has been shown to diagnose fractures, dislocations, and tendon and ligament injuries. It helps guide fracture and dislocation reductions and aids in regional anesthesia for pain management. This article reviews the common MSK injuries that can be diagnosed with ultrasound with a focus on point-of-care ultrasound.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
