Clinical Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: A Practical Guide to Point-of-Care Diagnosis, Image-Guided Injection, and Regenerative Therapy on Handheld Device (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798180008466)

Most existing ultrasound references were written for radiology departments using high-end cart-based systems. They cover diagnostic imaging in isolation, rarely addressing the interventional and regenerative applications that sports medicine and pain practitioners perform daily. Pocket guides sacrifice the procedural depth clinicians need for safe needle placement and accurate sonographic diagnosis. Multi-volume texts bury actionable technique in academic detail that slows clinical workflow rather than supporting it. And none of them address the specific imaging optimization, probe selection, and workflow considerations of handheld and portable platforms - the devices most practitioners are actually using at the bedside and in clinic.

Clinical Musculoskeletal Ultrasound by Callum Prescott MD was built to close this gap - a focused, evidence-based resource that integrates point-of-care diagnosis, image-guided injection techniques, and regenerative therapy protocols in a single volume optimized for today's portable ultrasound technology.

This guide connects sonographic anatomy to clinical decision-making, walks you through injection approaches with step-by-step procedural precision, and covers regenerative modalities including platelet-rich plasma, prolotherapy, and emerging biologics with the clinical detail required for safe, effective application. More than 100 clinical procedure and teaching videos - accessible through integrated QR codes - bring scanning technique, needle guidance, and procedural workflows to life beyond the printed page.

Inside this book:

• Systematic sonographic evaluation of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot, and spine - with standardized scanning protocols for each anatomic region
• Point-of-care diagnostic protocols optimized for handheld and portable ultrasound devices used in office, sideline, and field settings
• Image-guided injection techniques with needle placement guidance, patient positioning, and procedural pearls for each anatomic site
• Regenerative therapy applications including PRP, prolotherapy, and emerging biologic agents with clinical rationale, patient selection, and injection protocols
• Sonographic pathology recognition for tendons, ligaments, joints, nerves, muscles, and soft tissue structures
• Clinical images and illustrations throughout for anatomic orientation, pathology identification, and procedural clarity
• Practical workflows for integrating musculoskeletal ultrasound into sports medicine, physical medicine, and pain management clinic settings

Written for sports medicine physicians, pain management specialists, physiatrists, physical medicine and rehabilitation practitioners, orthopedic clinicians, emergency medicine providers, primary care physicians with procedural practices, and advanced practice providers who use - or are preparing to use - musculoskeletal ultrasound in daily patient care.
