Abstract:
Ultrasonography is used commonly for diagnosis and treatment in orthopedic field, because of low cost and radiation free imaging. Especially, in hand and wrist, where anatomical structures are located superficially, ultrasonography is very useful. Furthermore, major structures could be seen real-time, increasing safety and accuracy in operation. Therefore, some authors are trying ultrasonography-guided surgery around wrist and hand. This article reviewed the ultrasonography-guided surgery around wrist and hand with its technique, indication, and contraindication.
