Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is a very common and painful condition seen in the daily practice of musculoskeletal physicians. Ultrasound-guided (USG) injections are commonly performed to manage the pain, promote the healing phase, and plan a tailored rehabilitation treatment. In this aspect, several techniques were described to target specific pain generators i the lateral elbow. Likewise, the aim of this manuscript was to extensively review those USG techniques together with the patients' pertinent clinical/sonographic features. The authors believe that this literature summary could also be refined as a practical, ready-to-use guide for planning the USG interventions of the lateral elbow in clinical practice.
外侧上髁炎(LE)是肌肉骨骼科医生日常诊疗中常见且疼痛的病症。超声引导(USG)注射常用于控制疼痛、促进愈合阶段以及规划个性化的康复治疗。在这方面,已描述了多种针对外侧肘部特定疼痛源的技术。同样,本手稿的目的是广泛回顾这些超声引导技术以及患者相关的临床/超声特征。作者认为,这一文献综述也可提炼为一份实用的、可供临床实践中规划外侧肘部超声引导干预使用的指南。
