Abstract
Abstract Increasing use of image-guided injections for musculoskeletal conditions has not been accompanied by any substantial evidence base of change in safety or efficacy. The possible implications of increasing dependence on image-guidance for treatments are discussed, including diminishing interest and skill in manual diagnostic techniques, and whether patients will be better served with these current trends.
