Popis: The native bursa is a structure lined by synovium located adjacent to a joint which may serve to decrease friction between the tendons and overlying bone or skin. This extra-articular structure can become inflamed resulting in bursitis. Steroid injections have proven to be an effective method of treating bursal pathology in various anatomic locations. Performing these procedures requires a thorough understanding of relevant anatomy, proper technique, and expected outcomes. Ultrasound is a useful tool for pre procedure diagnostic evaluation and optimizing needle position during these procedures while avoiding adjacent structures. The purpose of this article is to review core principles of ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal procedures involving bursae throughout the upper and lower extremities.
