This article is a practical review update on ultrasound (US)-guided interventional procedures on peripheral nerves. Technical considerations, biopsy techniques, and some examples of injections are described. US is considered a safe imaging guidance for interventional procedures, due to its high spatial resolution and the possibility to image the needle and inject drugs in real time. US-guided injections could be considered a diagnostic and therapeutic option in the most common neuropathy, before or as an alternative to surgery. US-guided injection techniques in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, meralgia paresthetica, and Morton neuroma are reviewed. US-guided injections of the iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal, genitofemoral, and pudendal nerve are also illustrated. Knowledge of anatomy is crucial; therefore a brief description of the courses of anatomical nerves and clinical notes are also reported. Treatment of stump neuromas treatment was excluded.
本文是关于超声(US)引导下外周神经介入操作的实用综述更新。文中描述了技术考量、活检技术以及一些注射示例。由于超声具有高空间分辨率且能够实时成像穿刺针和注射药物,因此它被认为是介入操作的一种安全成像引导方式。在最常见的神经病变中,超声引导下注射可在手术前或作为手术替代方案,被视为一种诊断和治疗选择。本文回顾了超声引导下在腕管综合征、肘管综合征、股外侧皮神经痛和 Morton 神经瘤患者中的注射技术。还展示了超声引导下对髂腹下神经、髂腹股沟神经、生殖股神经和阴部神经的注射。解剖学知识至关重要;因此也报告了神经解剖走行的简要描述及临床注意事项。残端神经瘤的治疗未包括在内。
