AI Article Synopsis
- Athletes are at a higher risk for pelvic injuries due to trauma and the physical demands of high-energy activities.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the main tool for diagnosing these injuries, but ultrasound-guided treatments play a key role in managing conditions related to the core and hips.
- The article outlines various ultrasound-guided procedures, discussing common injuries, optimizing the procedures, the use of medications, and the effectiveness of techniques like injections and tenotomy, aimed at helping athletes recover quickly and return to their sport.
Article Abstract
Trauma and the mechanical strain of high-energy activity predispose athletes to pelvic injuries. Magnetic resonance imaging remains the primary modality for diagnosing these conditions, but ultrasonography-guided interventions are important in the management of core muscle, hip, and other pelvic conditions. This article reviews ultrasonography-guided interventions for injuries at the core, including the pelvis and hips. It reviews common injuries, procedure optimization, medication preparation, clinical evidence behind injections, tenotomy, and platelet-rich plasma. These interventions are especially important in athletes, because ultrasonography-guided procedures are often undertaken early in the treatment process, paralleling conservative rehabilitation to facilitate a faster return to play.
