TY - JOUR PY - 1975// TI - Thermography in sport injuries and lesions of the locomotor system due to sport JO - Fortschritte der Medizin A1 - Keyl, W. A1 - Lenhart, P. SP - 124 EP - 126 VL - 93 IS - 3 N2 - Using the infrared-thermography a exact picture of the body surface can be obtained. Injuries are recognized by a local hyperthermy, if the impaired structures do not lie too deep under the body surface. In combination with anamnesis and clinical and radiological examination the infrared-thermography plays an important role in the diagnosis, management and control of therapy. The results of examinations of 82 patients with distorsions, ruptures of tendons or ligaments, injuries of the meniscus and tendo- and chondropathias as well as of 50 athletes are described. In all cases a hyperthermy was found in the area of injury. In those cases, in which an injury was not the cause of the hyperthermy, other processes could be found (furunculosis, phlebitis, tumor).
