MSK Ultrasound Guided Injections
A significant advancement in interventional medicine is the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound to guide injections, such as steroid injections and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Ultrasound first helps identify the injury, after which the needle is introduced under real-time imaging, ensuring greater precision. This guidance allows for the injection of structures that might otherwise be difficult to target while also enhancing both the effectiveness and safety of the procedure. By precisely locating the injured area and avoiding nearby structures, ultrasound guidance optimizes treatment outcomes and minimizes potential complications.
