Musculoskeletal ultrasound intervention: principles and advances.
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.
