Ultrasonography

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...

Area of Science:

Musculoskeletal Medicine
Interventional Radiology
Regenerative Medicine

Background:

Tendinopathies cause significant chronic pain and disability.
Conservative treatments are often insufficient for severe cases.
Ultrasound guidance enhances precision in minimally invasive procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To review current ultrasound-guided interventions for tendinopathies.
To discuss mechanisms, indications, and evidence for each procedure.
To provide an updated overview for clinical practice.

Main Methods:

Literature review of ultrasound-guided interventions for tendinopathies.
Analysis of mechanisms, clinical indications, and evidence base.
Focus on corticosteroid injections, PRP, tenotomy, and mechanical release.

Main Results:

Ultrasound enables precise targeting of pathology.
Various interventions show varying levels of clinical evidence.
Established and emerging techniques are discussed.

Conclusions:

Ultrasound-guided interventions are valuable alternatives to surgery for tendinopathies.
Evidence supports some procedures, while others require further research.
This review synthesizes current knowledge on these minimally invasive techniques.
