22 Was it worth it? Can See entire course of tendon in longitudinal plane despite an oblique course Guidance of aspiration, biopsy & injection therapy Assessment of synovial thickening/ detection of fluid collections Undifferentiated arthropathy

23 Why US superior Satisfaction Long history taking in MSK disease

75 Synovial Sarcoma

76 Synovial Chondromatosis Multiple cartilaginous bodies in the synovium

77 Artifacts : Anisotropy Focal areas of hypoechogenicity when the probe is not at 90 to the linear structure being imaged Solution: Scan in multiple planes

78 Drawbacks Anisotropy Shadowing from bony surfaces/ calcifications Detailed knowledge of anatomy is essential Operator dependent

79 Take Home Message Clinical Correlation like ECHO Cardiography Dynamic examination Ability to scan multiple joints Intervention Satisfaction

80 Comparison with clinical measures PDUS is superior to DAS28 in evaluating disease activity, and predicting joint destruction PDUS is better than the DAS28 for predicting a response to therapy GSUS and PDUS are both more reliable than the clinical scores Rheumatol. Int. 32, (2012) Arthritis Care Res. 63, (2011) Arthritis Rheum. 64, (2012).

81 Predictive markers Synovial vascularity detected by PDUS predicts higher risk of radiographic progression compared with treatmentresponsive joints (vascularity improvement of 70% at week 8; relative risk ) Other factors which predict erosions and poorer outcome: Synovitis (GSUS, OR 3.14; PDUS, OR 2.79) ECU tenosynovitis Distal ulna erosions Semin. Arthritis Rheum. 41, (2012

82 Clinician perspective.. Mostly useful for conditions which we see day to day Rotator cuff, some sports medicine & Orthopedic conditions may not be our cup of tea Not to get scared of detail anatomy, most of time not needed i Many future uses, but one would see what mind knows

83 Clinicians perspectives Time consuming Spoils clothes Lady attendant Jelly & cold whether can be troublesome Sometime one feels.was it worth it.yes.yes yes

84 Keep it up in-spite of obstacles..
