Interconnections Among Midfoot Joints and Accuracy of Ultrasound-Guided Injection: A Cadaveric Study

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound-guided injections in the naviculocuneiform joint and assess diagnostic specificity for midfoot pain.
• Cadaveric study design to examine midfoot joint injections.
• Utilized ultrasound guidance for precise injection into the naviculocuneiform joint.
• Evaluated accuracy and specificity of the injected joints for diagnosing pain sources.
• Ultrasound-guided injections into the naviculocuneiform joint showed high accuracy.
• Diagnostic specificity for joint localization of pain was found to be limited.
