Recent Advances

This chapter reviews recent advances in ultrasound-guided spine procedures. The evidence-based foundation of these methods is examined and ultrasonography is compared with other imaging techniques. The equipment is briefly described. Ultrasound-guided interventional techniques published in peer-reviewed literature are discussed, with selected techniques described in detail. These techniques are classified regionally beginning with the cervical spine and ending with the sacroiliac joints.

Joint Injections

According to guidelines published by the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians in 2013 ‎1, ‎2, the current evidence for cervical facet joint injections is fair. Yet the volume of these procedures continues to rise ‎3. There is a need for a more critical appraisal of the benefit, technique and adverse effects associated with cervical spine injections. The systematic review and meta-analysis by Paredes et al ‎4 seeks to better assess the evidence for use of ultrasound (US) guidance with cervical medial branch blocks. This article is also a response to a recently published critique by Schneider et al ‎5 raising concerns about the paucity of evidence evaluating the safety, accuracy, and effectiveness of US-guided cervical spine procedures.
