Main Results:

  • Ultrasound accurately evaluates tendons, muscles, soft-tissue masses, and fluid collections.
  • Real-time imaging ensures precise needle placement, avoiding critical structures.
  • Ultrasound confirms successful intervention outcomes and aids in post-procedure assessment.

Conclusions:

  • Ultrasound serves as an effective "fluoroscopy" for soft tissues.
  • It enhances the safety and efficacy of various musculoskeletal interventions.
  • Ultrasound is crucial for diagnosis, guidance, and follow-up in musculoskeletal care.
