Impact of Adequate Disinfection Techniques for Ultrasound-Guided Injections in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT: Background: Interventional physiatry is a branch of medicine that uses minimally invasive ultrasound-guided techniques for diagnosis and treatment in the musculoskeletal system. The aim of this scoping review is to investigate the sterilisation techniques used and the rate of infection with ultrasound-guided injections. Methods: PubMed was searched up to 30 September 2024 using the following search terms ("Ultrasound, Interventional"[mesh]) AND "Injections, Intra-Articular"[mesh]; "Ultrasound-guided intra-articular injection". The inclusion criteria were randomised clinical trials, written in English, involving US-guided mini-invaexercissive procedures. Results: The search identified a total of 256 potentially relevant publications. After screening for duplication, inc
