Hi Team
perhaps an odd question.
At private practice where I work, GPs often with provide injection therapy with cortisone under ultrasound guidance and always ask for suggestion from sonographers.
Of all the common injection locations ie shoulder, wrist hip, are there any "Taboo " site ie achilles that should be avoided
Thanks in advance
Kindest Regards Brian Lee

Hi Brian,
Thanks for the question. We are just after some more information and context to try and provide you with the correct answer.
Is the GP coming into your practice to perform the injections?
Does the GP perform the injections themselves?
What level of involvement do the sonographers have?
What do you mean about taboo sites that need to be avoided? Do you mean locations that shouldn’t receive cortisone at all or locations such as injecting into the sheath vs tendon ect?
Thanks,
Emma
