The use of ultrasound assistance to carry out diagnostic and therapeutic injections is growing at a rapid rate, as is the proof to support its usage. Even with the increased popularity of ultrasound, there remains a lack of formal training or a basic referral book. Atlas of Ultrasound Guided Musculoskeletal Injections fills this void in the literature and will work to physiatrists, orthopedists, rheumatologists, pain medication and sports medication professionals alike. Broken down by structural structure and greatly detailed, this book is both detailed and useful. The Editors and their contributors break down the basics (both the fundamentals of ultrasound to needle presence and the role of injections) and check out ultrasound-guided injection for structures in the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, hip and groin, knee, ankle and foot, and spinal column. Using a clear, greatly illustrated format, this book explains the pertinent scientific situations and indications for injection, the proof to support ultrasound usage, relevant local anatomy, injection techniques, and pearls and security factors to consider. It will be an important reference for students and knowledgeable clinicians alike, for experienced sonographers or those just beginning.
