Hot Topic Session: Tendon Injections: Which One Works Best?

Special Courses — Musculoskeletal Radiology, Interventional,

Presented on December 4, 2014

Participants

Martin Torriani MD, Moderator: Nothing to Disclose

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1) Learn the indications of ultrasound-guided percutaneous tendon treatments such as tendon dry needling, autologous platelet-rich plasma and hyperosmolar dextrose injections, among others. 2) Discuss the technical requirements to perform ultrasound-guided percutaneous tendon treatments. 3) Review the state of the science in percutaneous tendon treatments.

ABSTRACT

The range of applications for ultrasound-guided percutaneous tendon treatments, such as dry needling, autologous platelet-rich plasma and hyperosmolar dextrose injections is rapidly increasing in the practice of musculoskeletal intervention. These novel procedures have specific indications and technical demands, which may influence clinical outcomes. This session will highlight common applications and techniques for percutaneous tendon treatments and review the current clinical evidence-based literature.
