Ultrasonography01:17

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called a...
Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...

Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...
Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography01:20

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side of the...
Arteries of the Upper Limbs01:12

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...

Area of Science:

  • Musculoskeletal Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Orthopedic Procedures

Background:

  • Ultrasound-guided injections are increasingly utilized for musculoskeletal conditions.
  • Accurate needle placement and visualization of injectate distribution are crucial for treatment efficacy.
  • The upper limb represents a common site for such interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the frequency and indications of ultrasound-guided injections in the upper limb.
  • To describe the techniques for performing these injections accurately.
  • To provide recommendations for post-procedure care.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 823 ultrasound-guided injections over 18 months.
  • Categorization of injections by anatomical location (shoulder, wrist, finger, elbow) and indication.
  • Detailed description of injection techniques for specific conditions.

Main Results:

  • Upper limb injections accounted for 40% of all procedures.
  • Shoulder injections (subacromial bursitis, calcific tendinitis) were the most common (24%).
  • Wrist (8%), finger (6%), and elbow (2.5%) injections were also performed for various pathologies.

Conclusions:

  • Ultrasound guidance significantly enhances the accuracy of injections.
  • Specific techniques and post-procedure recommendations are vital for optimizing outcomes.
  • Ultrasound-guided injections are a valuable tool for managing diverse upper limb pathologies.
