Inhaltsangabe

Steroid injections are a useful and effective treatment 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 incorporate the latest, vital research and developments in clinical practice. 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. This fourth edition is essential reading for general practitioners, rheumatologists, sports injury doctors, orthopaedic doctors and junior hospital doctors. 'Interest in injecting joints and soft tissues continues to flourish. General practitioners and hospital doctors are finding that these practical skills are rewarding in primary care as well as in hospital care. Since writing the last edition there has been a noticeable increase in published work, trials and reviews of the literature on the whole range of treatments used in musculoskeletal conditions. Thus, the evidence base is now very comprehensive.' - Trevor Silver, in the Preface. Key reviews from previous editions: 'This book is excellent.' "Hospital Doctor".
