Figure 4 Ultrasound-guided injection of the left flexor tendon in transverse plane.
Tendon injection under ultrasound (US)-guidance allows improved accuracy in tendon injection. Furthermore, US-guidance allows visualization of the fluid forming a complete peri-tendon fluid collection as noted by the hypoechoic space surrounding the heterogenous tendon appearance. Short arrow indicates the needle in transverse. Long arrow indicates flexor tendon in transverse section.
