Musculoskeletal - Arthrocentesis and Joint Injection
Caption
55 y/o with history of gout and osteoarthritis with an effusion. Join tapped and triamcinalone injected at the end. Going to tap a joint and unsure of the best spot? Grab POCUS to find the biggest fluid pocket. Many prefer the in-place US guidance technique for big targets such as a joint and watching the needle enter the whole way.
