About Ultrasound Guided Injections: Shoulder, Hip & Knee
Orthopaedic ultrasound guided injections deliver medication to a specific area of the body to assist in reducing or eliminating pain. With adequate pain relief, patients can more comfortably engage in physiotherapy, perform activities of daily living, and participate in other recreational pursuits. Orthopaedic injections can also serve as a diagnostic tool by helping to localize the source of symptoms.
Commonly injected medications include cortisone or other steroids, hyaluronic acid (such as CINGAL, Durolane, Synvisc). Our surgeons at the Specialist Referral Clinic can discuss with you which of these medications might be most appropriate for your condition.
Administering injection medications in the correct location is obviously of paramount importance to ensure the best chance of a good result. Injections at the Specialist Referral Clinic are therefore offered using ultra-sound guidance. Ultrasound-guided injections are administered in a similar way to traditional injections, however, an ultrasound probe is used to visualize the needle entering the appropriate location during administering of the medication. This can be especially important when injecting expensive medications such as hyaluronic acid.
To find out if injection therapy might be beneficial for your orthopaedic condition, contact the Specialist Referral clinic to book a consultation.
Total Knee & Hip Surgery
Arthritis is one of the leading causes of pain for many Canadians. We can help.
Total knee replacements are now approved for those 75 and under. Total hip replacements will be available in Spring 2026.
BC patients can now have their consultation locally at the Specialist Referral Clinic and surgery at the Cambie Surgery Centre. Both are located in Vancouver, British Columbia. For your convenience, some consultations can start virtually to minimize travel. Generally, we would require weight bearing x-rays, in-take forms to ensure you are medically fit for surgery and any medical information you may have. Consultations can be booked quickly, and surgery can be booked within weeks of anaesthetic clearance. You will be provided with a comprehensive and personalized program. A team of surgeons, nurses and therapists are involved in your care to optimize your recovery and experience. Patient care and surgical coordinators ensure every detail is attended to.
