Hamstring muscle injuries (HMI) are common among athletes. HMI can take many months to years to resolve. Often, athletes do not report complete resolution with typical conservative therapy. We present several cases of athletes who presented with chronic hamstring injuries that resolved immediately after being treated with an ultrasound-guided fascial hydrodissection procedure. Following the procedure and graded rehabilitation protocol, athletes reported resolution of pain and tightness in addition to increased performance and a quicker return to play.

BACKGROUND Lumbodorsal fasciitis (LF) is a condition in which muscle and fascial lesions cause low back pain (LBP) and limited mobility. This retrospective study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided fascial hydrodissection combined with eperisone for treating LF. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 103 patients with LF were selected and divided into a combined therapy (CT) group (ultrasound-guided fascial hydrodissection and oral drugs of eperisone) and single medication (SM) group (oral drugs of celecoxib and eperisone).

The erector spinae plane (ESP) block is an increasingly utilized regional block in the emergency department, representing one effective alternative or adjunct to opioid analgesia in patients presenting with rib fractures. While there is growing interest, its widespread adoption faces hurdles, such as a lack of appropriate training resources. Gelatin-based phantoms to simulate human anatomy have been widely used to facilitate ultrasound-guided procedures, although no such model for the ESP block has yet been defined in the literature.

Article Synopsis
  • * Shear-wave sonoelastography helps evaluate muscle elasticity, while ultrasound-guided techniques, like interfascial hydrodissection and rhomboid blocks, effectively reduce pain in MPS patients.
  • * Combining shockwave therapy with ultrasound-guided injections has been particularly successful for trapezius MPS, showcasing the importance of ultrasonography in safe and accurate pain management.
