Considering the growing role of ultrasound-guided procedures in musculoskeletal medicine, training as regards these interventions is pivotal. While hands-on training on cadavers can be considered optimal, it has several drawbacks, e.g., high cost, poor availability, and technical challenges regarding preservation. Apart from cadavers, different approaches to practicing needle guidance are taught in ultrasound workshops whereby phantoms from meat (e.g., chicken breast), cheese or gelatin are used. Likewise, this article aims to provide a detailed description as to how different gelatin-based phantoms can be prepared. In line with the EURO-MUSCULUS/USPRM (European Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Study Group/Ultrasound Study Group of the International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine) protocols/background, the authors describe particular basic and advanced phantoms to be used for practicing different technical/manual skills pertaining to common ultrasound-guided procedures. The present manuscript can be considered a practical and ready-to-use "recipe book" for readers who are interested in the wide spectrum of interventional ultrasound.

In this dynamic scanning protocol, ultrasound examination of the ankle is described using various maneuvers to assess different conditions. Real-time patient examination and scanning videos are used for better simulation of daily clinical practice. The protocol is prepared by several/international experts in the field of musculoskeletal ultrasound and within the umbrella of European Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Study Group in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine/Ultrasound Study Group of the International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine.

ABSTRACT: In this dynamic protocol, ultrasound examination of the elbow using different maneuvers is described for several/relevant elbow problems. Scanning videos are coupled with real-time patient examination videos for better understanding. The authors believe that this practical guide-prepared by an international consensus of several experts (EURO-MUSCULUS: European Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Study Group and USPRM: Ultrasound Study Group of ISPRM [International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine])-will help musculoskeletal physicians perform a better and uniform/standard approach.

ABSTRACT: Wrist/hand pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition with a great spectrum of etiologies (varying from overuse injuries to soft tissue tumors). Although most of the anatomical structures are quite superficial and easily evaluated during physical examination, for several reasons, the use of ultrasound imaging and guidance has gained an intriguing and paramount concern in the prompt management of relevant patients. In this aspect, the present review aims to illustrate detailed cadaveric wrist/hand anatomy to shed light into better understanding the corresponding ultrasonographic examinations/interventions in carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, de Quervain tenosynovitis, rhizarthrosis, and the radiocarpal joint arthritis. In addition, evidence from the literature supporting the rationale why ultrasound guidance is henceforth unconditional in musculoskeletal practice is also exemplified.
