Ultrasound-guided pain interventions in the knee region

Most routine intra-articular and extra-articular knee infiltrations performed in pain management are carried out by means of blind techniques or fluoroscopy-guided techniques. Alternatively, ultrasound-guided techniques are a safer and more precise way to perform these procedures. An extensive knowledge of knee anatomy will help us to obtain high-quality real-time ultrasound images before performing any infiltrations. In the current article, we present how to systematically examine the knee sonoanatomy and also describe the ultrasound-guided interventional basis for knee joint pain management.
