Joint And Soft Tissue: Injecting With Confidence

Steroid injections are a useful and effective treatment within the primary care setting for many painful conditions of joints and soft tissues. This book examines the diagnosis of conditions, the uses of steroids, and the potential pitfalls in their use. It looks at all aspects of the practical skills required as well as the evidence-base, general information, medico-legal issues and clinical pitfalls. This new edition has been updated and expanded to include the latest developments and a new chapter on musculuskeletal imaging and therapeutic options in soft tissue disorders. It covers anatomy and procedures and describes step-by-step the required skills for each procedure using full-colour photographs and explanatory illustrations.
