Purpose: Injectable biologics have not only been described and developed to treat dermal wounds, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, but have also been reported to treat chronic pain conditions. Despite emerging evidence supporting regenerative medicine therapy for pain, many aspects remain controversial.
Methods: The American Society of Pain and Neuroscience (ASPN) identified the educational need for an evidence-based guideline on regenerative medicine therapy for chronic pain.
Ultrasound is a high-resolution, real-time imaging modality that is frequently used for image-guided procedures. Due to the highly complex anatomy of the foot and ankle, ultrasound should be considered a first-line imaging modality for injections and procedures in this region.

- - Hip pain is a frequent issue for athletes, with common causes like gluteal tendinopathy, femoroacetabular impingement, and osteoarthritis often overshadowing rarer conditions like iliotibial band origin tendinopathy (ITBOT).
- - Identifying the cause of hip pain can be challenging due to the complex pelvic anatomy and varied pain referral patterns, making a systematic evaluation approach crucial for accurate diagnosis.
- - This review focuses on detailing the anatomy of the iliotibial band's origin, discussing how to diagnose ITBOT through imaging, and summarizing current treatment options, highlighting a need for more awareness and research on this condition.
