Sonography, My Personal Assistant at Hand Outpatient Clinic

Abstract

Ultrasonography in hand surgery offers the option of imaging trauma consequences or degenerative problems in the wrist and fingers, involving bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, annular pulley, carpal and digital changes, soft masses, and foreign bodies including dynamic changes during motion. In the hands of the treating surgeon, ultrasonography allows immediately to plan conservative treatment versus surgery, to precisely infiltrate joints or tendon spaces as well as to perform miniinvasive assisted surgery.
