As the population ages, more patients are developing degenerative changes of the spine and associated pain. Although interventional procedures for axial and radicular spine pain have been available for decades,…
Musculoskeletal ultrasound has a rich history originally rooted in nautical technology. In recent years, it has proliferated significantly for both diagnostic and interventional purposes in the point-of-care clinical setting by…
Ultrasound guidance allows real-time visualization of the needle in peripheral nerve procedures, improving accuracy and safety. Sonographic visualization of the peripheral nerve and surrounding anatomy can provide valuable information for…
Tendinopathy is increasingly recognized as an important cause of musculoskeletal pain and disability. Tendinopathy is thought to be principally a degenerative process, rather than inflammatory as was traditionally believed. Consequently,…
The application of regenerative therapies for the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions has emerged over the last decade with recent acceleration. These include prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma, and mesenchymal stem cell therapy….
This article reviews commonly performed injections about the foot and ankle region. Although not exhaustive in its description of available techniques, general approaches to these procedures are applicable to any…
Most knee structures can be accurately targeted using ultrasound guidance. These structures are usually superficial, and the overlying soft tissues are mobile and compressible, facilitating excellent visualization with a high-frequency…
Acute and chronic wrist and hand conditions are commonly seen by neuromuscular and musculoskeletal specialists. High-frequency diagnostic ultrasonography (US) has facilitated advances in the diagnosis and interventional management of wrist…
Key points • The differential diagnosis for hip pain is extensive and includes intra-articular and extra-articular pathologic conditions, and referred pain from the lumbar spine and pelvis. • Ultrasound (US)…
High-resolution ultrasonography can help clinicians visualize key anatomic structures of the elbow and guide periarticular and intra-articular injections. Historically, most procedures done around the elbow have been done using landmark…
