Advanced Ultrasound-Guided Procedures

The use of ultrasound to diagnose injuries and guide interventions is changing the way we practice orthopedics and sports medicine. Ultrasound-guided interventions are more accurate, less painful, and more efficacious than non-guided injections. Applications have rapidly evolved from joint and tendon sheath injections to include more advanced, minimally invasive approaches for treatment of tendon, nerve, and other soft tissue injuries.
