Abstract:
Ultrasound-guided interventions for the wrist and hand provide valuable therapeutic options for managing various conditions. This article reviews common procedures including injections into the radiocarpal joint, first metacarpophalangeal joint, ganglions, and tendon sheaths, as well as the interventional management of De Quervain's tenosynovitis, trigger finger, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Detailed instructions are provided on probe selection, patient positioning, and procedural techniques tailored to each anatomical target. The importance of careful needle placement, and appropriate risk management is emphasized. Risks such as nerve injury, tendon rupture, and damage to adjacent structures are considered. Advanced techniques like hydrodissection in carpal tunnel syndrome are also described. Text is supplemented with anatomical notes.

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
