Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Background:
Ultrasound is a rapidly expanding imaging tool and gradually adopted by a various musculoskeletal specialties: radiologists, rheumatologists, sport medical doctors, traumatologists, plastic surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, etc. Its non-invasive, non-radiant, portable accessible, painless and dynamic real-time imaging character makes this tool a real extension of the practitioner's senses.
Importance:
In recent years, interventional procedures have gained increasingly in popularity. Some injections are becoming more precise and some classical surgical techniques have been converted under ultrasound control, such as the release of nerves or tenotomies. Much remains to be discovered and codified, however.
Goal of the Special Issue:
The future of interventional ultrasonography now depends on the research and teaching of this transversal discipline requiring long learning. This Special Issue is a review of all the interventional procedures in the musculoskeletal system. First, we asked clinicians from different specialties to collaborate as we believe ultrasound serves a variety of medical doctor specialties. Second, the articles are based on the real experience of the authors and as a result, they share tips and difficulties they had to face. Third, the aim is to describe the innovative minimally invasive procedures for the benefit of the patient and for enhancing the knowledge of all the medical community about all the therapeutic options, from ultrasound-guided injections to ultrasound-guided surgery.
