Ultrasound Basics
• Physics – Sound waves are transmitted in arrays– 2D picture of plane beneath probe– Tissue properties determine the
behavior of the sound waves which is then created into an image.
– Different probes produce different images• Higher Frequency = more resolution
but less penetration• Lower frequency = less resolution but
deeper penetration

Terminology
– Anechoic: Black (i.e., no reflection)
– Hypoechoic: Dark, relative to the surrounding structures (i.e., less reflection)
– Isoechoic: Same shade of gray as another structure
– Hyperechoic: Bright, relative to the surrounding structures (i.e., high reflection

Terminology
Anisotropy: Artifactual hypoechoic/anechoic appearance from oblique angle so that sound waves are reflected away from transducer (false-positive interpretation)
Posterior Acoustic Shadowing: hypoechoic/anechoic region deep to an area of high attenuation (i.e., bone or calcium)

Corticosteroid injections
Is most effective when combined with other treatment modalities
Can be effective to decrease pain and inflammation
Relatively safe with only rare side effects.
Early studies in animal models showed possibility of increased cartilage destruction but other studies show no significant cartilage degradation with even multiple injections UPMC LIFE

Sonographically Guided Percutaneous Needle Tenotomy for Treatment of Common Extensor Tendinosis in the Elbow
John M. Mcshane, MD, Levon N. Nazarian, MD, Marc I. Harwood, MD
Objective. Chronic tendinosis of the common extensor tendon of the lateral elbow can be a diffJCult problem to treat. We report our experience with sonographically guided percutaneous needle tenotomy to relieve pain and improve function in patients with this condition. Methods. We performed sonographically guided perrutaneous needle tenotomy on 58 consecutive patients who had persistent pain and disability resulting from common extensor tendinosis. Under a local anesthetic and sonographic guidance, a needle W"5 advanced into the common extensor tendon, and the tip of the nee
dle W"5 used to repeatedly fenestrate the tendinotic tissue. Cakifications. if present. were mechanically fragmented. and the adjacent bony surface of the apex and face of the epicondyle were abraded. Finally, the fenestrated tendon was infiltrated with a solution containing corticosteroid mixed w ith bupivacaine. After the procedure, patients were instructed to perform passive stretches and to undergo physical therapy. During a subsequent telephone interview, patients answered questions about
their experience, their functioning level, and their perceptions of procedure outcome. Results. Fiftyfe,e (95%) of 58 patients were contacted by telephone and agreed to participate in the study. Thirtyfe,e (63.6%) of 55 responclents reported excellent outcomes, 16.4% good, 7.3% fair, and 12.7% poor. The average follow-up time from the date of the procedure to the date of the interview was 28 months (range, 17-44 months). No adverse events were reported; 85.5% stated that they would refer a friend or close relatiive for the procedure. Condusions. Sonographically guided percutaneous nee
dle tenotomy for lateral elbow tendinosis is a safe, effectiive, and viable alternatiive for patients in whom all other nonsurgical treatments failed. Key words: common extensor tendon; elbow; needle; sonography; tennis elbow; tendinosis.

Sonographically Guided Percutaneous Needle Tenotomy for Treatment of Common Extensor Tendinosis in the Elbow Is a Corticosteroid Necessary?
John M. McShane, MD, Vinil N. Shah, MD, Levon N. Nazarian, MD
Objective. Chronic refractory common extensor tendinosis of the lateral elbow has been shown to respond to sonographical~ guided percutaneous needle tenotomy (PND followed by corticosteroid injection. In this ana~. we attempted to determine whether the corticosteroid is a necessary component of the procedure. Methods. We performed PNT on 57 consecutive patients (age range, 34-61 years) with persistent pain and disability resulting from common extensor tendinosis. Under a local anesthetic and sonographic guidance, a needle was advanced into the tendon, and the tip of the needle was used to fenestrate the tendinotic tissue, break up any calcifications, and abrade the adjacent bone. After the procedure, patients undeiwent a specified physk:al therapy protocol. During a subsequent telephone interview, patients answered quesfons about their symptoms, the level of functioning, and per· ceptions of the procedure outcome. Results. Of the 52 patients who agreed to participate in the study, 30 (57.7%) reported excellent outcomes, 18 (34.6%) good, 1 (1.9%) fair, and 3 (5.8%) poor. The average follow-up time from the date of the procedure to the telephone interview was 22 months (range, 7-38 months). No adverse events were reported, and 90% stated that they would refer a friend or dose relative for the procedure. Condu.sions. Sonographical~ guided PNT for refractory lateral elbow tendinosis is an effective procedure, and subsequent corticosteroid injection is not necessary. Key words: common extensor tendon; elbow; needle; sonography; tendinosis; tennis elbow.

Ultrasound-Guided Fenestration of Tendons About the Hip and Pelvis Clinical Outcomes
Jon A. Jacobson, MD,Josl,ua Rubi11, MD, Corrie M. Yablo11, MD, Sung Moon J(jn,, MD, Monica Kalume-Brigido, AID, Aishwarya Paramcswaran, MS
Objedives- Percutaneous ultrasound-guided needle fenestrabon has been used to treat tendinopathy of the elbow, knee, and ankle with promising results.. The purpose of this study was to evah1.1te the clinical outcome of ultrasound-guided fenestration of tendons
about the hip and pelvis.
M,thod!- After Institutional ~view Boord approval, a retrospective search of imaging
reports from January I, 2005, to June 30, 2011, was completed to identify patients treated with ultrasound-guided tendon fenestration about the hip or pelvis. Subsequent clinic notes wen, n,trospectively reviewed to determine wht>ther the patient showed
marked improvement, some improvement, no change, or worsemng symptoms.
Results- The study group consisted of 22 tendons in 21 patients with an average age
of SS.8 years (range, 26. 7-77.0 years). The treated tendons included 11 gluteus medius (9 tendmosis and 2 partial tears), 2 gluteus minimus (both tendinosis), 8 hamstring (6 tt>ndinosis and 2 partial tears), and I tensor fascia latae (tendino,is). The average
interval to clmical follow-up was 70 days (range, 7-81 3 days). There was marked in1provement in 45.5'16 ( 10 of22), some improvt>n1enl in 36.4'16 (8 of22), no change in symptoms in 9. J'J(, (2of22), and worsenings-ymptomsin 9, J'J(, (2 of22). There were
no patient variables ( age, chronicity of symptoms, sex, tendon, tendinosis versus tear, prior physical therapy, and prior corticosteroid injection) that wen, significantly differt>nl
between patients who improved and those who dKI not. There were no cases of a subsequent tendon tear or inkction.
Corn:lu.siom-Clinical foOow-up after ultrasound-guided fenestration of the gluteus
med.ms, gluteus mirumus, proximal hamstnng, and tensor fascia latae tendons showed that 82% of patients had improvement in their symptoms.
