Progress in the application of musculoskeletal ultrasound in the treatment of chronic soft tissue injuries with needle knife
Needle knife treatment is widely used in chronic soft tissue injury diseases.Traditional needle knife treatment is performed without direct visualization,requiring a high level of anatomical knowledge and manual experience from the opera-tor,and it is difficult to avoid the risk of tissue damage due to anatomical variations.Recently,with the promotion and pop-ularization of musculoskeletal ultrasound,the application of ultrasound-guided visual needle knife treatment in chronic soft tissue injuries has become increasingly widespread.This article reviews the relevant literature on the application of musculo-skeletal ultrasound in needle knife treatment in recent years,combined with the author's clinical experience,and briefly ex-plains the importance of musculoskeletal ultrasound in needle knife treatment,aiming to promote further application of mus-culoskeletal ultrasound in needle knife treatment.
