Ultrasound-guided hydrodissection
Hydrodissection is a technique that «releases» a trapped nerve by injecting fluid around it, guided by ultrasound. It is a minimally invasive alternative for some nerve entrapments.
Book appointmentWhen is it indicated?
- Nerve entrapments (carpal tunnel, sciatica)
- Tingling and pain from nerve compression
- Trigger finger (tendon hydrodissection)
What does the procedure involve?
Under ultrasound control, I inject fluid around the nerve or tendon to release it from the tissue compressing it. It is an outpatient procedure.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work for carpal tunnel?
It can help in mild or moderate cases. If the entrapment is severe, we'll consider other options.
And for trigger finger?
Yes. Tendon hydrodissection is a minimally invasive option for trigger finger, guided by ultrasound.
