Abstract

Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are growing in prevalence. Ultrasound (US) is increasingly used for managing MSK conditions due to its low cost and ability to provide real-time image guidance during therapeutic interventions. As MSK US becomes more widespread, familiarity and comfort with US-guided interventions will become increasingly important. This article focuses on general concepts regarding therapeutic US-guided injections of corticosteroids and platelet-rich plasma and highlights several of the US-guided procedures commonly performed, involving the pelvis and lower extremity.

Keywords: Ankle; Corticosteroid; Hip; Injection; Knee; PRP; Pelvis; Ultrasound.
