Summary
Ultrasound (US) imaging is increasingly used for musculoskeletal procedures. US guidance offers safe and effective minimally invasive treatments for trauma, often avoiding surgery and speeding recovery.
Area of Science:
- Musculoskeletal imaging
- Medical procedures
- Diagnostic imaging
Background:
- Ultrasound (US) is gaining prominence in musculoskeletal imaging.
- Key advantages include dynamic exploration and interventional procedure guidance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review musculoskeletal image-guided procedures for acute and chronic trauma.
- To highlight the role of US in these interventions, excluding sports medicine.
- To discuss the removal of foreign bodies using US guidance.
Main Methods:
- Review of musculoskeletal image-guided procedures.
- Focus on US-guided interventions for trauma.
- Inclusion of foreign body removal procedures.
Main Results:
- US-guided procedures are effective for acute and chronic trauma.
- These methods can sometimes obviate the need for surgery.
- Foreign body removal using US is also feasible.
Conclusions:
- Musculoskeletal US-guided procedures are safe and highly effective for trauma.
- Minimally invasive US techniques reduce recovery time.
- Patients can return to normal activities, including work and sports, sooner.
