BookKatharine E. Alter [and others].
Summary: The text portion is a practical reference manual, and is divided into three parts. The first part is an overview of the conditions and applications, general approach to chemodenervation and nerve block procedures, off- label indications, and injection pearls (what to do, what to avoid), the second provides a review of the various agents (botulinum toxins, phenol, and alcohol) and their uses. The third part covers ultrasound basics for the clinician, including essential physics, machine settings, artifacts, scanning techniques, and pitfalls. The accompanying DVD is a visual atlas comprised of s.
