Abstract

Enthesitis represents a characteristic features of spondyloarthritis (SpA) and, in the context of the early management of the disease, its reliable assessment has emerged as a central issue. Musculoskeletal ultrasonography (US) has proven to be of value in the assessment of peripheral entheses. Our aim was to systematically review the literature from 2010 to 2013 in order to summarise the evidence on the evaluation of entheses by US in patients with diagnosed or suspected SpA.
