Summary
Ultrasound (US) guided procedures are crucial for diagnosing and treating arthritis. This review covers essential techniques, guidelines, and newer methods for joint and periarticular interventions.
Area of Science:
- Musculoskeletal imaging
- Rheumatology
- Interventional procedures
Background:
- Ultrasound (US) guided procedures are increasingly vital for arthritis diagnosis and treatment.
- Accurate guidance improves procedural success and patient outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review general considerations for US-guided fluid aspiration, injections, and biopsies.
- To provide an overview of US-guided interventions in joints and periarticular regions.
- To discuss newer, advanced US-guided techniques.
Main Methods:
- Comprehensive literature review of recent studies and guidelines.
- Detailed description of instrumentation and procedural techniques.
- Inclusion of pre- and post-procedural care and complication management.
Main Results:
- Outlines guidelines for instrumentation, techniques, and patient care.
- Details interventions for joints, tendons, nerves, and bursae.
- Discusses emerging sophisticated US-guided procedures.
Conclusions:
- US guidance offers a safe and effective approach for various musculoskeletal interventions.
- Standardized guidelines and understanding of techniques enhance procedural efficacy.
