Imaging-Guided Musculoskeletal Interventions in the Lower Limb

Abstract

Imaging guidance is essential for musculoskeletal interventional procedures performed in the lower limb. A strong evidence supports the use of imaging guidance to improve safety, accuracy, and effectiveness of these interventions. Joints, tendons, bursae, and nerves can be effectively approached especially with ultrasound-guided injections. Here, we discuss evidence and technique of the most common image-guided musculoskeletal interventional procedures in the lower limb.
