“…Therefore, it has become the preferred imaging method among doctors treating musculoskeletal issues. 26,27 RFA uses a high-frequency alternating current to induce coagulation necrosis of the target tissue. When the probe temperature is between 60°C and 80°C, the tissue is destroyed.…”

Objective Postamputation pain (PAP) is a serious problem, and thus far, there is no perfect treatment strategy. Clinically, minimally invasive treatments for peripheral neuromas are simple and feasible. This study aimed to investigate the immediate and long-term effects of ultrasonography-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) on PAP. Methods Eighteen PAP subjects with painful peripheral neuromas were treated with ultrasonography-guided RFA. Results A total of 18 PAP subjects were included in the final analyses. Fourteen of the 17 subjects with residual limb pain (RLP) (82.4%) had successful outcomes. A successful outcome was noted in 9 of the 13 subjects with phantom limb pain (PLP) (69.2%). There were no significant associations between symptom relief and sex, age, or the duration of symptoms. There were no severe complications. Conclusions Ultrasonography-guided RFA for painful stump neuromas can effectively relieve stump pain and PLP in amputees with PAP (follow-up time was 12 months). Ultrasonography-guided RFA is easy and safe and does not involve radiation exposure, making it very suitable for clinical applications.

Elastosonography is a non-invasive diagnostic method to evaluate tissue stiffness. The aim of our study was to demonstrate the applicability and efficacy of elastosonography to differentiate benign vs malignant subpleural lung lesions compared to clinical, radiological and histological findings. We performed both strain and shear wave velocity (SWV) elastosonography on subpleural lung lesions. Moreover, we elaborated a composite score called ”elasto index”. Fourteen patients, 10 males and 4 females were recruited. On strain elastography, 9 lesions showed a hard pattern (type 3), 3 lesions showed an intermediate pattern (type 2), and 2 lesions a soft pattern (type 1). All lesions showed a mean SWV value of 4.46 ± 2.37 m/second. The mean SWV for malignant lesions (n = 6) was 5.92 ± 2.8 m/second. The mean SWV for benign lesions (n = 8) was 3.36 ± 1.20 m/second. SWV shows an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.792, and the Youden index shows a value of 3.6 m/second. The ROC curve elaborated for the diagnosis of malignancy by strain elastography showed an AUC of 0.688. ROC curve for the diagnosis of malignancy by elasto index demonstrated an AUC of 0.802. SWV values obtained by ARFI elastosonographic method are higher in malignant lung lesions (mean SWV: 5.92 m/second) than in benign ones (mean SWV: 3.36); a composite score (elasto index) is characterized by better statistical significance for the differentiation of the lesions.

Supra inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is increasingly used in elderly patients with hip fractures. However, the minimum effective volume of local anesthetics required for ultrasound-guided supra-inguinal FICB has not been determined. With ethical committee approval and written informed consent from patients, we studied 21 consecutive patients of ASA physical status I–III undergoing surgery for hip fracture who met the inclusion criteria. Blocks were performed before going to the operation room. We determined the injection volumes of 0.25% ropivacaine for consecutive patients from the preceding patient's outcome. The initial volume was 30 ml. The testing interval was set at 10 ml, and the lowest volume was 5 ml. An effective block was defined as loss of sensation of pinprick in the territory of the femoral nerve and lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh 30 min after the injection. The aim of this study was to determine the 50% effective volume (EV50) and the 95% effective volume (EV95) of 0.25% ropivacaine for ultrasound-guided supra-inguinal FICB using Logistic regression analysis. EV50 and EV95 of 0.25% ropivacaine for ultrasound-guided supra-inguinal FICB calculated with logistic regression analysis were 15.01 ml (95% confidence interval, 6.53–22.99 ml) and 26.99 ml (95% confidence interval, 20.54–84.09 ml), respectively. EV50 and EV95 of 0.25% ropivacaine for ultrasound-guided supra-inguinal FICB were 15.01 ml and 26.99 ml, respectively.Clinical trial number: UMIN000027277 (URL https://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/index-j.htm).
