Ultrasound-guided techniques
Ultrasound-guided techniques
ECO-guided techniques represent a fundamental advancement in modern medicine, enabling minimally invasive procedures with maximum precision. At the Gastaldi Orquin Institute of Traumatology (ITGO), we use real-time ultrasound to diagnose and treat various musculoskeletal pathologies, reducing the risk of complications and accelerating patient recovery.
HYALURONIC ACID INJECTIONS
These injections use biological components such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), monocytes, or mesenchymal stem cells to stimulate the regeneration of damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery in joint, tendon, or muscle injuries.
WASH-OUT OF CALCIFICATIONS
This technique involves the removal of calcium deposits in tendons or joints through ultrasound-guided aspiration. It relieves pain and restores mobility in cases of calcific tendinitis.
NERVE BLOCKS FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT
Nerve blocks are injections of anesthetics or anti-inflammatory medications near specific nerves to interrupt the transmission of pain. They are useful in cases of chronic or acute pain, such as sciatica or neuralgia.
NEUROMODULATIONS
Neuromodulation is a technique that uses electrical or chemical stimuli to modify nerve activity and reduce chronic pain. It is an option for patients with pain resistant to other treatments.
NEUROLYSIS
Neurolysis is a minimally invasive procedure that releases trapped or compressed nerves caused by scar tissue or inflammation, relieving pain and restoring nerve function.
HYDRODISSECTION
Hydrodissection involves the injection of fluid (saline solution) to separate nerve structures from surrounding tissues that compress them. It is useful in cases of nerve entrapment, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
Benefits of ECO-guided techniques
✔ Greater precision in the application of treatments
✔ Less invasive procedures with reduced pain
✔ Faster recovery time
✔ Exact identification of injuries in muscles, tendons, and joints
Among the most frequent applications of this technology are joint injections, chronic pain treatment, and regenerative therapies. Our medical team, with extensive experience in traumatology and orthopedic surgery, uses ECO-guided techniques to ensure the best care and optimal results for each patient.
