Effectiveness of Ultrasound-Guided Compared to Blind Steroid Injections in the Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Mark H. Greenberg, James W. Fant
We read with great interest the article by Evers and colleagues.1 Their data confirms what many of us who utilize ultrasound-guided injections have suspected - that is, improved efficacy and decreased hazard of treatment using ultrasound-guided injection for carpal tunnel (CT) syndrome. The authors did comment about additional potential benefits of ultrasound (US) guidance including decreased risk of median nerve and surrounding tissue damage. In addition they described that ultrasound visualization of structures within the CT contributes to the diagnosis. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
