If an issue of the Radiologic Clinics of North America
had been published on the subject of interventional
musculoskeletal radiology 30 years ago, it would
have looked quite different from the one you see
before you today. Although in the past interventional
radiologists and musculoskeletal radiologists
used needles only for occasional joint injections or
biopsies and little else, their use has now become
an important component of both disciplines.
Although joint injections in the appendicular
skeleton and the spine have been performed for
many years, their role in the management of joint
pain has expanded dramatically, particularly in
an aging population. The number of possible interventions
in the spine has grown, often resulting in
marked variations in the types of procedures
performed and indications for their use. These
topics are explored in this issue of Radiologic
Clinics of North America.
