“…Transverse refers to the relationship of the transducer position relative the femoral neck. This term (in preference to transverse oblique) was decided on for simplicity and to follow other descriptions of musculoskeletal interventions not in the longitudinal plane 6,7 . Rotating the transducer to a “true” axial plane, perpendicular to the long axis of the patient, is not desirable, as the greater trochanter will obstruct the needle path.…”

The “parallel transverse in‐plane” technique for ultrasound‐guided intra‐articular hip interventions ensures needle visualization for the entire procedure, with the needle clearly shown entering the joint. With the widely described longitudinal in‐plane approach, needle visualization can be poor, necessitating reliance on tissue distortion, which can reduce user confidence and safety. The parallel transverse in‐plane approach is invaluable in those with anterior thigh skin breakdown and where anterior access is contraindicated. The approach also allows a broad width of the synovium to be traversed and is therefore well suited to synovial biopsy. This short Technical Innovation highlights this alternative approach to hip joint intervention.

“…The SEFAS was chosen as a patient-reported outcome measure because of its acceptable reliability, validity, and responsiveness in patients with various forefoot, midfoot, hindfoot, and ankle disorders. 2,3 It was originally only validated for its use for arthritis in the ankle, 4 but more recently gaining its acceptable use in the hind-, mid-, and forefoot. All injections were used for both their diagnostic and therapeutic purpose following ongoing midfoot pain that had failed conservative treatment.…”

“…Conservative treatment using plantar orthosis or US guided corticosteroid injection may be tried initially [94]. However, a recent systematic review found that about 50 % of patients relapse with pain after 1 year following corticosteroid injection and surgical treatment is eventually needed in 33 % of cases [95].…”

This review discusses the relevant anatomy, etiopathogenesis, current notions in clinical and imaging features as well as management outline of lower limb entrapment neuropathies. Methods: The review is based on critical analysis of the current literature as well as our experience in dealing with entrapment neuropathies of the lower limb. Results: The complex anatomical network of nerves supplying the lower extremities are prone to entrapment by a heterogenous group of etiologies. This leads to diverse clinical manifestations making them difficult to diagnose with traditional methods such as clinical examination and electrodiagnostic studies. Moreover, some of these may mimic other common conditions such as disc pain or fibromyalgia leading to delay in diagnosis and increasing morbidity. Addition of imaging improves the diagnostic accuracy and also help in correct treatment of these entities. Magnetic resonance imaging is very useful for deeply situated nerves in pelvis and thigh while ultrasound is well validated for superficial entrapment neuropathies. Conclusion: The rapidly changing concepts in these conditions accompanied by the advances in imaging has made it essential for a clinical radiologist to be well-informed with the current best practices.
