Abstract
We describe the use of ultrasound guidance for local steroid injection of the retrocalcaneal bursa and the tibialis posterior tendon sheath in patients with chronic inflammatory arthropathy. Ultrasound guidance may be the injection technique of choice but is particularly indicate d for patients with lesions unresponsive to injections guided by palpa tion.
