It is unknown whether ultrasound findings and symptoms of Achilles tendinopathy in runners correlate with foot strike patterns. We aimed to examine the relationships among Achilles tendon ultrasound findings in runners with or without Achilles tendinopathy, their foot strike patterns, and their training regimens. We recruited marathon runners 18 years of age or older with no history of Achilles tendon pain or surgery participating in the 2018 DONNA Marathon.

- Ultrasound-guided hip joint injections are common for diagnosing or treating intra-articular hip pain, with lidocaine being a standard local anesthetic, though it may cause discomfort during infiltration.
- This study aimed to compare the pain and effectiveness of bacteriostatic saline versus buffered 1% lidocaine in these procedures, using a double-blinded, randomized controlled trial design involving 68 patients.
- Results showed no significant differences in pain levels during infiltration or injection between the two anesthetics, indicating that bacteriostatic saline may not offer a distinct advantage over buffered lidocaine.
Introduction: The primary aim of this investigation was to determine whether use of write-zoom magnification affects sonographically determined cross-sectional area (CSA) of peripheral nerves.
Methods: CSAs of the median (MN) and posterior interosseous (PIN) nerves were measured in 22 limbs from 11 asymptomatic volunteers using both standard imaging and write-zoom magnification. CSA measurements were repeated on the same images 1 week later.
Objectives: The primary purpose of this investigation was to document the ability of high-resolution sonography to accurately identify the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve (FBLPN) using sonographically guided perineural injections in an unembalmed cadaveric model.
Methods: single experienced operator completed sonographically guided perineural FBLPN injections in 12 unembalmed cadaveric specimens (6 right and 6 left) obtained from 10 donors (5 male and 5 female) aged 47 to 95 years (mean, 71 years) with an average body mass index of 24.2 kg/m(2) (range, 17.
Objectives: To determine the distribution of sonographically guided deep plantar fascia injections in an unembalmed cadaveric model.
Methods: A single experienced operator completed 10 sonographically guided deep plantar fascia injections in 10 unembalmed cadaveric specimens (5 right and 5 left) obtained from 6 donors (2 male and 4 female) aged 49 to 95 years (mean, 77.5 years) with a mean body mass index of 23.
