Abstract
The tendons of the knee play a critical role in the motion and stability of the knee.
Knee pain, a common clinical complaint, can frequently be attributed to pathology
of these structures. While the cornerstones of the radiological evaluation of the
knee are radiography and magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound can also play an important
diagnostic role and can be useful for guided interventional procedures. Understanding
the utility of each modality in the assessment for tendon pathology and a familiarity
with the normal and abnormal imaging appearance of these structures are crucial for
accurate diagnosis.
