Ultrasound-guided Injection for Medial Knee Pain

Overview

About this study

This study is being done to determine how well a needle can be placed into your knee joint with the use of an ultrasound machine for guidance and to find out if specific nerves can be reached with anesthetic or placebo to prevent the pain in the knee.
