<p begin="00:00:06.040" end="00:00:08.986" tts:origin="0% 0%">I practice in Los Angeles, California.</p>
<p begin="00:00:08.986" end="00:00:11.910" tts:origin="0% 0%">My specialty is physical<br />medicine and rehabilitation,</p>
<p begin="00:00:11.910" end="00:00:13.977" tts:origin="0% 0%">also known as physiatry.</p>
<p begin="00:00:13.977" end="00:00:15.955">My practice focuses primarily on</p>
<p begin="00:00:15.955" end="00:00:20.122">non-surgical orthopedics and<br />musculoskeletal medicine.</p>
<p begin="00:00:23.640" end="00:00:24.919">I was initially motivated</p>
<p begin="00:00:24.919" end="00:00:27.399">to incorporate ultrasound into my practice</p>
<p begin="00:00:27.399" end="00:00:29.490">because I've always been intrigued</p>
<p begin="00:00:29.490" end="00:00:33.210">by cutting edge treatments and<br />developments in technology,</p>
<p begin="00:00:33.210" end="00:00:35.600">and trying to offer that to my patients.</p>
<p begin="00:00:35.600" end="00:00:38.308">And I'm aware of the treatments</p>
<p begin="00:00:38.308" end="00:00:40.617">that are commonly performed in Europe</p>
<p begin="00:00:40.617" end="00:00:42.620">and it was surprising to me that</p>
<p begin="00:00:42.620" end="00:00:45.120">some of the ultrasound<br />treatments aren't quite as common</p>
<p begin="00:00:45.120" end="00:00:48.082">in the U.S. when patients<br />initially have injuries.</p>
<p begin="00:00:48.082" end="00:00:51.761">And so I began to investigate<br />different equipment</p>
<p begin="00:00:51.761" end="00:00:53.790">and technology and<br />realized that I could be</p>
<p begin="00:00:53.790" end="00:00:57.039">providing this care and quality diagnostic</p>
<p begin="00:00:57.039" end="00:01:01.206">and therapeutic interventions<br />to my patients here.</p>
<p begin="00:01:04.496" end="00:01:07.822">Ultrasound's opened up many<br />doors for me and my patients</p>
<p begin="00:01:07.822" end="00:01:11.112">to do many treatments that we<br />never conceived previously.</p>
<p begin="00:01:11.112" end="00:01:13.040">Basically, by looking into the body,</p>
<p begin="00:01:13.040" end="00:01:16.766">we can see within a millimeter<br />exactly our target area.</p>
<p begin="00:01:16.766" end="00:01:19.311">So we are able to both<br />increase our ability</p>
<p begin="00:01:19.311" end="00:01:23.394">for diagnostic purposes<br />as well as interventions.</p>
<p begin="00:01:26.727" end="00:01:28.727">I think the most important thing</p>
<p begin="00:01:28.727" end="00:01:31.205">is to like almost get your feet wet.</p>
<p begin="00:01:31.205" end="00:01:34.593">Really grab onto a<br />probe and start scanning</p>
<p begin="00:01:34.593" end="00:01:38.020">and you'll really see once<br />you can look into the body</p>
<p begin="00:01:38.020" end="00:01:40.076">and see inside the body,</p>
<p begin="00:01:40.076" end="00:01:42.836">as you're doing different treatments,</p>
<p begin="00:01:42.836" end="00:01:44.841">it really enhances your practice.</p>
<p begin="00:01:44.841" end="00:01:47.635">So, I'd suggest considering taking a</p>
<p begin="00:01:47.635" end="00:01:49.933">musculoskeletal ultrasound<br />training seminar,</p>
<p begin="00:01:49.933" end="00:01:51.473">even if it's for a day,</p>
<p begin="00:01:51.473" end="00:01:54.979">just to interact and<br />see how easy it can be</p>
<p begin="00:01:54.979" end="00:01:58.230">once you learn the basic<br />anatomy structures and scanning</p>
<p begin="00:01:58.230" end="00:02:02.397">just to begin and integrate<br />it into your practice.</p>
<p begin="00:02:06.296" end="00:02:08.384">What's really exciting about ultrasound</p>
<p begin="00:02:08.384" end="00:02:11.153">is that we're able to<br />interact with the patient.</p>
<p begin="00:02:11.153" end="00:02:14.013">It's a very hands on<br />interaction with the patient</p>
<p begin="00:02:14.013" end="00:02:16.397">where we can ask them where their pain is,</p>
<p begin="00:02:16.397" end="00:02:18.618">place the probe directly over that area</p>
<p begin="00:02:18.618" end="00:02:22.201">and determine whether<br />it's relevant or not.</p>
<p begin="00:02:24.772" end="00:02:27.489">I found that by using<br />ultrasound with my patients</p>
<p begin="00:02:27.489" end="00:02:30.664">it creates a connection<br />in education with them</p>
<p begin="00:02:30.664" end="00:02:32.414">that I haven't really seen before.</p>
<p begin="00:02:32.414" end="00:02:35.679">After doing my comprehensive<br />hands on physical exam,</p>
<p begin="00:02:35.679" end="00:02:38.775">a lot of times if they need<br />a diagnostic ultrasound</p>
<p begin="00:02:38.775" end="00:02:40.361">for further clarification,</p>
<p begin="00:02:40.361" end="00:02:41.808">we'll do the study.</p>
<p begin="00:02:41.808" end="00:02:46.336">And the patient is able to<br />look at the screen with me</p>
<p begin="00:02:46.336" end="00:02:48.126">and get educated on the structures</p>
<p begin="00:02:48.126" end="00:02:49.443">for example, their shoulder,</p>
<p begin="00:02:49.443" end="00:02:51.598">and determine exactly what the problem is.</p>
<p begin="00:02:51.598" end="00:02:54.039">By identifying the specific problem</p>
<p begin="00:02:54.039" end="00:02:56.536">and explaining them all<br />the comprehensive options,</p>
<p begin="00:02:56.536" end="00:02:58.289">they're able to make an educated choice</p>
<p begin="00:02:58.289" end="00:02:59.510">about what's the best treatment</p>
<p begin="00:02:59.510" end="00:03:01.097">for them and their philosophy.</p>
<p begin="00:03:01.097" end="00:03:03.446">For some patients it's<br />a cortisone injection,</p>
<p begin="00:03:03.446" end="00:03:06.349">some it may be physical<br />therapy versus acupuncture</p>
<p begin="00:03:06.349" end="00:03:10.695">versus medications versus<br />therapeutic yoga treatment.</p>
<p begin="00:03:10.695" end="00:03:13.668">There are many options for problems</p>
<p begin="00:03:13.668" end="00:03:17.418">depending on their issue<br />on their philosophy.</p>
<p begin="00:03:20.399" end="00:03:22.706">It's really helped increase<br />referrals from both</p>
<p begin="00:03:22.706" end="00:03:26.600">primary care, orthopedists,<br />and then most importantly,</p>
<p begin="00:03:26.600" end="00:03:29.933">from our patients that are so satisfied.</p>
<p begin="00:03:32.214" end="00:03:34.440">I did a demo of a couple<br />of different machines</p>
<p begin="00:03:34.440" end="00:03:36.613">and I was really happy<br />with the Sonosite machine</p>
<p begin="00:03:36.613" end="00:03:39.331">because it was very easy to use.</p>
<p begin="00:03:39.331" end="00:03:42.225">I have very basic needs<br />from my ultrasound machine</p>
<p begin="00:03:42.225" end="00:03:44.650">specifically for musculoskeletal use</p>
<p begin="00:03:44.650" end="00:03:47.737">and I found that the machine<br />was very compact, portable,</p>
<p begin="00:03:47.737" end="00:03:50.255">and most importantly the<br />price was very competitive</p>
<p begin="00:03:50.255" end="00:03:53.658">when it compared to the other systems.</p>
<p begin="00:03:53.658" end="00:03:54.727">But for the most part,</p>
<p begin="00:03:54.727" end="00:03:56.619">I just felt very comfortable<br />with it and ease of use</p>
<p begin="00:03:56.619" end="00:03:59.369">and I've been very happy with it.</p>
<p begin="00:04:03.193" end="00:04:06.050">Perhaps, two of the<br />most talked about topics</p>
<p begin="00:04:06.050" end="00:04:07.637">in orthopedics and sports medicine</p>
<p begin="00:04:07.637" end="00:04:11.804">at conferences and various<br />areas is orthobiologics,</p>
<p begin="00:04:12.956" end="00:04:14.848">which is basically a broad field</p>
<p begin="00:04:14.848" end="00:04:17.004">that describes cutting edge technology</p>
<p begin="00:04:17.004" end="00:04:20.233">maximizing the body's natural<br />ability to heal itself.</p>
<p begin="00:04:20.233" end="00:04:24.400">Including stem cells, platelets,<br />and various growth factors.</p>
<p begin="00:04:25.388" end="00:04:30.217">And the second hot topic is<br />musculoskeletal ultrasound.</p>
<p begin="00:04:30.217" end="00:04:32.936">And so, being able to<br />provide some of these</p>
<p begin="00:04:32.936" end="00:04:34.520">biologic type treatments,</p>
<p begin="00:04:34.520" end="00:04:37.248">we need a means to<br />administer them accurately.</p>
<p begin="00:04:37.248" end="00:04:40.665">So ultrasound allows us<br />to inject the patient's</p>
<p begin="00:04:40.665" end="00:04:43.130">own growth factors,<br />platelets or stem cells,</p>
<p begin="00:04:43.130" end="00:04:45.452">within a millimeter of the target injury</p>
<p begin="00:04:45.452" end="00:04:49.619">to give the patient the<br />best opportunity to recover.</p>

<p begin="00:01:05.895" end="00:01:08.374" style="s2">The needle is slowly<br />advanced to lie in plane</p>
<p begin="00:01:08.374" end="00:01:09.936" style="s2">to the transducer beam</p>
<p begin="00:01:09.936" end="00:01:13.804" style="s2">and is seen as a bright,<br />hyperechoic, linear structure.</p>
<p begin="00:01:13.804" end="00:01:14.637" style="s2">The needle is slowly advanced</p>
<p begin="00:01:14.637" end="00:01:17.363" style="s2">under direct ultrasound visualization</p>
<p begin="00:01:17.363" end="00:01:18.670" style="s2">until the tip is seen</p>
<p begin="00:01:18.670" end="00:01:21.824" style="s2">to puncture the anterior<br />surface of the muscle.</p>
<p begin="00:01:21.824" end="00:01:23.070" style="s2">The needle should be advanced</p>
<p begin="00:01:23.070" end="00:01:26.030" style="s2">until the needle tip lies<br />just above the bony surface</p>
<p begin="00:01:26.030" end="00:01:28.270" style="s2">within the conjoined tendon.</p>
<p begin="00:01:28.270" end="00:01:29.983" style="s2">Care should be taken to avoid</p>
<p begin="00:01:29.983" end="00:01:32.236" style="s2">the posterior cutaneous thigh nerve</p>
<p begin="00:01:32.236" end="00:01:35.297" style="s2">which often overlies the conjoined tendon.</p>
<p begin="00:01:35.297" end="00:01:38.047" style="s2">The needle should be aspirated<br />prior to the injection</p>

<p begin="00:01:39.720" end="00:01:41.937" style="s2">At the conclusion of the procedure,</p>
<p begin="00:01:41.937" end="00:01:43.992" style="s2">the hamstring muscle should be scanned</p>
<p begin="00:01:43.992" end="00:01:46.513" style="s2">using a short and long access approach</p>
<p begin="00:01:46.513" end="00:01:50.680" style="s2">to ensure that there is no<br />bleeding following the procedure.</p>
