Abstract

Introduction: The genicular nerves are sensory nerves around the knee. With the improvements in ultrasound imaging resolution, these nerves can be identified sonographically.

Topic description: Due to their small size, genicular nerves are often underappreciated and overlooked during routine sonographic imaging. Chronic pain associated with knee osteoarthritis, or postsurgical knee pain can be relieved by ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablations or nerve blockades targeting the genicular nerves.

Discussion: To sonographically image these nerves, or guide nerve blocks or ablations, knowledge of the sonographic anatomy, technique and normal appearances of the genicular nerves and their surrounding structures is required and is unpacked in this pictorial essay.

Conclusion: Enhanced knowledge of the anatomy and a systematic approach to sonographically image and assess the genicular nerves of the knee can enhance the diagnosis of pathology, nerve injury or entrapment, and sonographic guidance of interventional procedures for pain relief.

膝关节膝神经的声学成像。
简介膝状神经是膝关节周围的感觉神经。随着超声波成像分辨率的提高,这些神经可以通过超声波来识别:由于膝状神经体积小,在常规超声造影检查中往往不被重视和忽视。与膝关节骨性关节炎相关的慢性疼痛或膝关节手术后疼痛可通过超声引导下针对膝神经的射频消融或神经阻断术得到缓解:讨论:要对这些神经进行声像成像,或引导神经阻滞或消融,需要了解膝神经及其周围结构的声像解剖、技术和正常外观,本图解文章将对此进行解读:加强对膝关节膝状神经的解剖学知识和系统的声学成像及评估方法,可提高对病理、神经损伤或卡压的诊断,以及对介入性止痛手术的声学指导。
