Abstract
Ultrasound is an imaging technique that allows diagnostic and interventional procedures. One of the advantages of this technique is to provide dynamic imaging, without ionizing radiation, and to allow the continuous monitoring of the needle in real time.We present the case of a man with traumatic femoral amputation and stump pain due to a sciatic nerve neuroma. He was treated using ultrasound-guided injection with lidocaine anesthetic blockade and perilesional steroid injection. The patient reported pain improvement, assessed using a numerical pain scale, after two injections.The aim of this article is to present ultrasonography as a safe and effective technique for the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders in rehabilitation.
