The aim of this educational exhibit is to:
1. review the US-guided percutaneous procedures aimed to the treatment of lower limb musculoskeletal pathologies;
2. show technical aspects, precautions and tricks that may help to improve the outcome of such treatments;
3. provide anatomical schemes with didactic purpose and show correlations both with US static images and procedural US videos.
Ultrasound guidance is very helpful in the guidance of percutanous musculoskeletal procedures on the lower limb due to the relatively deep location of some joint structures such as the hip, where free-hand techniques are affected by a low level of accuracy, and the superficial location of other structures that could be instead very small or close to neurovascular structures.
Authors will show how to correctly perform several US-guided procedures aimed to treat lower limb pathologies such as:
- hip osteoarthritis;
- degenerative tendonitis of the hip;
- ileopsoas and trochanteric bursitis;
- Morel-Lavallèe and other soft tissues haematomas;
- knee osteoarthritis;
- Baker cyst;
- patellar tendinopathy;
- tibiotalar osteoarthritis;
- tenosynovitis;
- Achilles tendinopathy;
- plantar fasciitis;
- Morton's neuroma;
- intermetatarsal bursitis.
