Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Musculoskeletal ultrasonography may provide many benefits for the diagnostics and monitoring of the human locomotor system. The main research goal for this Special Issue is to collect research papers based on clinical medicine outcomes and treatment implications, especially focused on contemporary advances and trends in medicine and rehabilitation.

This Special Issue topic “Contemporary Advances in Musculoskeletal Ultrasonography: Clinical Outcomes and Treatment Implications" determines the link between medicine and physical therapy.

Potential topics:

  • Literature review and meta-analysis proposing medical outcomes investigated by ultrasonography after different surgical interventions in the shoulder, elbow, knee, and ankle.
  • Novel applications for ultrasonography imagining in the shoulder, elbow, knee, and ankle. Original research and randomized-control trials based on analysis of ultrasonography after musculoskeletal surgical interventions.
  • Ultrasonographical evaluation of the musculoskeletal system during and/or after physical therapy intervention.
  • The future perspective of ultrasonography in medicine and physical therapy. Ultrasonography in other fields of medicine, e.g.: neurology, pediatrics, cardiology.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).

The aim of this study was to analyze the differences in morphological and histological features of the cervical multifidus (CM) and longus colli (LC) muscles among patients with cervical disc bulging, protrusion, or extrusion. Fifteen patients with cervical disc bulging (20% male, mean age: 48.5, standard deviation (SD) 7.5 years), fifteen with cervical disc protrusion (6% male, mean age: 43, SD 7.8 years), and fifteen with cervical disc extrusion (40% male, mean age: 44, SD 8 years) diagnosed via clinical and imaging findings participated in this study. Additionally, fifteen asymptomatic controls (40% male, mean age: 40.4, SD 9.7 years) were also included. The following ultrasound measurements, cross-sectional area (CSA), anterior–posterior distance (APD), lateral dimension (LD), and mean echo-intensity (EI) of the CM and LC at C5-C6 level were examined by an assessor blinded to the subject’s condition. The results revealed no group ×side significant differences among the groups (p > 0. 00625). However, group effects were found for APD and MEI of the CM (p = 0.006 and p < 0.001, respectively) and CSA, APD and MEI of the LC (all, p < 0.001). The LD of the LC muscle and the APD and LD of the CM were negatively associated with related disability (p < 0.01; p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively), and pain intensity was negatively associated with LC APD and LD (both p < 0.05). These results suggest that US can be used to detect bilateral morphological changes in deep cervical flexors and extensors to discriminate patients with cervical disc alterations. Full article
