This review highlights ultrasound-guided treatments for musculoskeletal issues in the ankle and foot, suggesting precision can reduce complications.
Ultrasound-guided interventions for the ankle and foot offer precise treatment for musculoskeletal conditions. This article reviews injections of the talocrural joint, first metatarsophalangeal joint, Achilles tendon (via stripping and retrocalcaneal bursa injections), plantar aponeurosis, and tibialis posterior tendon, detailing probe selection, patient positioning, and procedural techniques. Precise needle guidance is emphasized to prevent complications like nerve injury and tendon rupture. Text is supplemented with anatomical notes.
