Steroid injections are a useful and effective treatment within the primary care setting for many painful conditions of joints and soft tissues. This book comprehensively examines the diagnosis of conditions, the uses of steroids, and the potential pitfalls in their use. It looks at all aspects of the practical skills required as well as the evidence base, general information, medico-legal issues and clinical pitfalls.
This new edition has been updated and expanded to include the latest developments and a new chapter on musculoskeletal imaging and therapeutic options in soft tissue disorders. It conveys the author's comprehensive knowledge of anatomy and procedures, and describes step-by-step the required skills for each procedure using full-colour photographs and explanatory illustrations. It imparts to every practitioner the knowledge to inject with confidence. It is essential reading for general practitioners, rheumatologists, sports injury doctors, orthopaedic doctors and junior hospital doctors.

'A concise but nevertheless comprehensive guide to injection techniques for common musculoskeletal conditions...
