Musculoskeletal ultrasound intervention: principles and advances

Radiol Clin North Am. 2008 May;46(3):515-33, vi. doi: 10.1016/j.rcl.2008.02.003.

Abstract

Ultrasound scan is an invaluable tool in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Core concepts that are common to most ultrasound-guided procedures are reviewed, including an in-depth discussion regarding the use of injectable corticosteroids. Various aspects of intra-articular, intratendinous, bursal, and ganglion cyst intervention are discussed and promising advances in the treatment of chronic tendon disorders are presented.
