“…Steroid injections show considerable symptomatic improvement, even after a single injection, and are the preferred treatment for de Quervain's tenosynovitis,[ 73 74 ] trigger finger,[ 74 75 ] and stenosing tenosynovitis of flexor hallucis longus[ 76 ] and peroneal tendons. Rotator cuff tendinosis (non-calcific)[ 77 78 ] also responds well to subdeltoid bursal injections. Peritendinous steroids are also effective in the management of medial[ 79 ] and lateral epicondylits[ 80 ] [Figures 2A - C and 3A and B ].…”

Ultrasonography (USG) is a safe, easily available, and cost-effective modality, which has the additional advantage of being real time for imaging and image-guided interventions of the musculoskeletal system. Musculoskeletal interventions are gaining popularity in sports and rehabilitation for rapid healing of muscle and tendon injuries in professional athletes, healing of chronic tendinopathies, aspiration of joint effusions, periarticular bursae and ganglia, and perineural injections in acute and chronic pain syndromes. This article aims to provide an overview of the spectrum of musculoskeletal interventions that can be done under USG guidance both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
