Injection Plantar fascia Inferior heel pain is a common clinical presentation and is usually due to plantar fasciitis Inferior calcaneal bone spurs are common, but are not a cause of plantar fasciitis Ultrasound is an objective method for confirming the diagnosis The plantar fascia will become thickened, measuring more than 0.4 cm, with decreased reflectivity from oedema and thickening of the paratenon (see Figure 11.20) The paratenonitis is probably responsible for the pain, so it is logical to inject this area, rather than the tendon itself, which would run the risk of r upture Ultrasound is an effective method for injecting the paratenon with steroid (which is difficult without image guidance as it is a very thin structure lying just superficial to the tendon) (see Figure 11.21) The knee MRI has an established role in, and is highly sensitive to, detecting meniscal and cruciate injury Ultrasound is more limited, mainly because of the depth of structures However, it is useful in diagnosing meniscal and parameniscal abnormality and is an effective tool in examining the patellar tendon In some cases of patellar tendinosis there is cystic change, which is unlikely to settle with conservative management; therefore, appropriate orthopaedic referral should be considered Musculoskeletal imaging and therapeutic options in soft tissue disorders 125 Figure 11.20 Plantar fasciitis demonstrating objective changes on ultrasound Tip of needle Figure 11.21 Ultrasound-guided injection of the paratenon around the plantar fascia 126 Silver’s Joint and Soft Tissue Injection ULTRASOUND IN INFLAMMATORY DISEASE Ultrasound has been described as ‘the rheumatologist’s extended finger’, emphasising its extended role in the clinical examination of musculoskeletal injury or disease As there is no associated radiation, there is no limit to the number of examinations that can be performed It has also been demonstrated to detect erosive changes earlier than conventional radiographs Although proven to be as effective in this regard and capable of imaging areas that are inaccessible to ultrasound (e.g the spine and sacroiliac joints), MRI is limited in terms of availability and cost The potential applications of ultrasound include: • The examination of deep joints (i.e the hip and shoulder) • The detection of mild synovitis where clinical signs are absent • Distinction from synovitis and other causes of swelling, including tenosynovitis and subcutaneous oedema • Quantitative assessment of synovitis • Differentiation between synovial hypertrophy and effusion, allowing decisions regarding aspiration to be made • Needle placement for therapeutic injection, aspiration and biopsy Ultrasound-guided injection Ultrasound-guided injection allows accurate injection into proven areas of abnormality The needle tip is visible throughout the course of the examination, which allows a single and accurate passage into a bursa, small joint or paratenon As the non-distended subacromial space measures less than 2 mm in width, accurate injection without guidance is difficult Scanning during blind injections often shows the needle located within muscle or a tendon, with little resistance to injection The advantages of ultrasound-guided injection include quick and easy injection, the avoidance of multiple injections where there is lack of response and the certainty of accurate placement There is little evidence to suggest that either a blind or guided injection confers any advantage, but this is the subject of current research Calcific tendinosis Calcific tendinosis is a painful condition that can affect any tendon, although the supraspinatus tendon of the rotator cuff is the most commonly involved The aetiology is unclear, although repetitive trauma, a genetic predisposition or biochemical disorder have all been implicated Calcific deposits are common incidental findings and are thought to be painful during periods of formation and resorption Patients often present with severe pain affecting all movements, which does not respond to local injection or anti-inflammatory drugs While the diagnosis is commonly overlooked, once suspected, it can be confirmed with radiography or ultrasound Ultrasound is useful in confirming that the pain is attributable Musculoskeletal imaging and therapeutic options in soft tissue disorders 127 Figure 11.22 Calcific tendinosis: barbotage to the deposit and not impingement or a cuff tear While the condition is often self-limiting, a significant number of patients will have a protracted course and further therapy should be considered Arthroscopic excision is a proven treatment, but it does carry all the attendant risks of surgery and anaesthesia, together with a long recovery period A percutaneous treatment is available (barbotage), which involves puncturing the deposit with two 20G needles inserted under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and is well tolerated Following multiple punctures, saline is washed through the deposit to remove some of the broken particles Following the procedure, both steroid and Marcaine® are instilled before needle removal The procedure takes about 15 minutes to perform and is sometimes followed by a 24-hour period of exacerbation of symptoms, with a marked improvement over the next few days The procedure is thought to produce local hyperaemia, which aids resorption of the calcific deposits Success has been reported in up to 90% of patients who have been recalcitrant to other methods of treatment, and where symptoms have lasted for many months (see Figure 11.22) 128 Silver’s Joint and Soft Tissue Injection SHOCKWAVE THERAPY Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), previously known as extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL), has been available for some time and is a well-established and effective method for treating renal calculi It also has an established role in treating bony and soft tissue disorders, with clinical improvement of symptoms in the following areas: • Bony non-union • Calcific tendinosis • Tennis and golfer’s elbow • Trochanteric bursitis • Patella tendinosis • Achilles tendinosis • Plantar fasciitis • Peyronie’s disease of the penis ESWT directs shockwaves directly onto the affected tendon through ultrasound or radiographic guidance, and uses high-energy, accurately-focused beams of ultrasound waves The mechanism of action is not entirely clear, but it can induce a local hyperaemic response, have an effect on cell membranes, alter the threshold of pain receptors or release negative ions, all of which are claimed to be responsible for its therapeutic response ESWT is not widely available in the UK; there is greater experience of its use in the USA and mainland Europe It has clear advantages in that it has no significant side effects, is non-invasive and does not involve the use of steroids Results from those centres with wide experience of its use are encouraging and are the subject of ongoing research Current European guidelines suggest its use in refractory tendinopathy, where there has been ineffective first-line therapy, including anti-inflammatory drugs, local steroid injection and physiotherapy EDUCATIONAL ASPECTS OF REPORTING It will be difficult for practising clinicians to familiarise themselves with all the complex imaging and interventional techniques now available, but as requests are made and feedback is obtained, individual referrers will begin to develop a deeper understanding of the pathology and biomechanics of common soft tissue disorders Through this process, clinicians will become more confident in their clinical management and recognise that there may be a reason why a problem has not improved with conservative management or injection Imaging is also a useful tool for the practitioner, allowing prompt diagnosis and effective management, leading to patient and doctor satisfaction RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS The availability of imaging modalities and therapeutic options varies geographically, so it is up to the clinical practitioner to make the most of what is available Musculoskeletal imaging and therapeutic options in soft tissue disorders 129 locally Clinicians should develop a good relationship with providers in secondary care, who can then adapt their facilities to provide the best possible service to both patients and their doctors SUMMARY Ultrasound and MRI can be used effectively to diagnose and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions The examples in this chapter are not exhaustive but have been chosen to illustrate the role of imaging and guided therapy in some of the more common soft tissue disorders Imaging can be used to complement clinical diagnosis and injection techniques, allowing the practitioner to become more confident in his/her diagnosis and management of soft tissue disorders FURTHER READING Blei CL et al (1986) Achilles
