  1. Ultrasound Guided Injections in a Sports Medicine Practice Edward W. Kelly, MD October 7, 2013 Annual Orthopedic Care Team Conference

  2. Ultrasound Guided Injections in a Sports Medicine Practice Nothing to disclose

  3. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Goals • Review Musculoskeletal Ultrasound • Advantage and disadvantages of MSK US • Demonstrate therapeutic US Guided Injections

  4. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound What is Ultrasound • High frequency sound wave • Audible sound 20 Hz – 20,000 Hz • Diagnostic US > 1,000,000 Hz (1MHz) • Above human hearing • Musculoskeletal Ultrasound – 7-18 MHz

  5. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound What is Ultrasound • Sound waves travel through tissues at same speed • How fast they return determines image

  6. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound What Can MSK Ultrasound Image • Bone • Muscle • Tendon • Nerve • Subcutaneous Tissue • Fluid

  7. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound What Joints Can MSK Ultrasound Image • Small joints- Foot/Ankle – Hand/Wrist • Knee • Hip

  8. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound What Joints Can MSK Ultrasound Image Shoulder/Elbow • Glenohumeral • Subacromial space • AC joint • Biceps • Lateral epicondylitis

  9. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound What Are Ultrasound Advantages The Rehabilitator Fact or Fantasy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1GGFR2mc9g

  10. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound What Are Ultrasound Advantages • Images muscle, soft tissue, and cortical bone surfaces • No known long term side effects • Dynamic or “live” images

  11. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound What Are Ultrasound Advantages • Portable • No special room needed • High resolution – 1 mm • Accurate!

  12. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound What Are Ultrasound Advantages • 2009 Meta-analysis Am J Radiology • 65 studies US as sensitive and specific as MRI to diagnose RC Tears

  13. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound What Are Ultrasound Advantages • Relatively inexpensive

  14. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound What Are Ultrasound Advantages • MRI shoulder cost $ 750 Medicare • US diagnostic shoulder cost = $124 Medicare • US guided needle placement $208 Medicare

  15. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound What Are Ultrasound Disadvantages • Can not see thru bone or gas • Relatively limited depth of penetration • Operator dependant • Steep learning curve – about 100 scans

  16. Ultrasound Guided Intra-Articular Injections Do you need guidance? • Poor ability to get into desired joints blindly • Glenohumeral 90% vs. 27% • Biceps 87% vs. 40% • Subacromial 90% vs. 30% • AC Joint 90% vs. 60% • Hip 90% vs. 30%

  17. Ultrasound Guided Intra-Articular Injections Do you need guidance? • Better therapeutic response • Less pain for patient • Less likely to injure other structures

  18. Ultrasound Guided Intra-Articular Injections Examples
