Abstract
High-resolution ultrasonography (US) has proved an excellent noninvasi ve and inexpensive modality for examining the extremities. This pictor ial essay illustrates the US appearance of bony and soft-tissue abnorm alities of the ankle and the hindfoot. The role of US as an adjunct te chnique to complement conventional radiography is stressed. The advant ages of US in examining traumatic, inflammatory and infectious lesions and soft-tissue masses are discussed.
