Ultrasound-Guided Musculoskeletal Injections—Shoulder, Hip, and Knee

Abstract The application of ultrasound for musculoskeletal injection is becoming a popular technique. As pain originating from the musculoskeletal system is one of the most common causes for patients to visit primary and tertiary care practitioners, pain physicians quite often encounter patients who can benefit from hip, knee, and shoulder injection. This chapter discusses the anatomy, sonoanatomy, and the interventional techniques of the shoulder, hip, and knee injections. Ultrasound-guided injection in these areas increases the accuracy and the efficacy of the injection, as well as potentially decreases the discomfort of these injections.
