After reviewing this exhibit, the learner will be able to: 1. List common indications for ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal procedures 2. Describe commonly performed ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal procedures 3. Outline technical aspects, procedural considerations, and potential pitfalls  

I. Background    1. Factors causing increase in utilization of US for procedure guidance    2. Patient selection    3. Benefits of US vs. fluoroscopy for needle guidance II. Procedural/ Technical    1. Preprocedural considerations: Indications, consent, risks, medications used    2. Technical considerations: Transducer selection, patient positioning, artifacts and technical pitfalls    3. Sterile technique    4. Post-procedural considerations: Pain assessment and management, follow up III. Procedures    1. Tendon-sheath injections: Biceps tendon sheath, posterior tibialis tendon sheath, Achilles peritenon    2. Bursal injection: Retrocalcaneal, subacromial subdeltoid, iliopsoas    3. Tendon fenestration: Achilles, patellar tendon, hamstring origin    4. Platelet-rich plasma injection    5. Calcific tendinopathy lavage    6. Joint injection and aspiration    7. Other injections, such as plantar fascia and Morton neuroma injection
