Abstract

Knee injections are common procedures to treat pain when conservative treatment fails. Ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal injections are shown to improve accuracy and clinical outcomes. This objective of this chapter is to describe how to perform a few selected ultrasound-guided pain procedures at the knee: intra-articular, Baker’s cyst, pes anserinus bursa and tendon, iliotibial band bursa, and patellar tendon.
