Information

McNabb’s Practical Guide to Joint and Soft Tissue Injection, 5th Edition (Videos Only) provides practical visual instruction for performing a broad range of joint, soft tissue, musculoskeletal, and related injection procedures.

Based on the fifth edition of the authoritative guide by James W. McNabb, Francis G. O’Connor, and Chad D. Hulsopple, the video content demonstrates injection techniques using both traditional anatomical landmark guidance and modern ultrasound guidance.

The procedures are presented from a practical clinical perspective, helping healthcare professionals understand patient positioning, anatomical landmarks, needle placement, procedural technique, and ultrasound-assisted approaches where applicable.

The fifth edition substantially expands its emphasis on ultrasound-guided procedures and incorporates updated approaches to injection therapy, including corticosteroids, viscosupplementation, orthobiologics, nerve blocks, and advanced procedural techniques. The official publisher describes the multimedia content as including procedural videos involving real patients and filmed from the operator’s perspective.

Program Overview

McNabb’s Practical Guide to Joint and Soft Tissue Injection is designed to support clinicians performing common office-based injection procedures using relatively simple equipment across a variety of healthcare settings.

The videos complement the procedural approach of the fifth edition by demonstrating techniques visually, including both landmark-based injections and ultrasound-guided injections.

Rather than focusing solely on needle placement, the underlying clinical framework also considers important procedural factors such as anatomy, indications, contraindications, equipment, complications, referral considerations, and special medical circumstances.

Key Learning Areas

Through the procedural video material, learners can reinforce their understanding of:

• Joint injection techniques
• Soft tissue injection techniques
• Landmark-guided procedures
• Ultrasound-guided injection procedures
• Relevant musculoskeletal anatomy
• Identification of anatomical landmarks
• Patient positioning for injection procedures
• Needle positioning and procedural approach
• Ultrasound visualization during interventions
• Common extra-axial musculoskeletal conditions
• Common nerve block techniques
• Injection approaches used in headache treatment
• Procedural safety considerations
• Appropriate patient selection
• Indications and contraindications for injections
• Recognition and prevention of procedural complications

Major Topics Covered

Landmark-Based Injection Techniques

The material demonstrates conventional injection procedures based on surface anatomy and clinically identifiable landmarks.

These techniques remain important for clinicians working in settings where ultrasound guidance may not always be available.

Ultrasound-Guided Injection Procedures

A major focus of the fifth edition is the integration of ultrasound guidance alongside landmark-based techniques.

Ultrasound can help clinicians visualize relevant anatomical structures, guide needle placement, and better understand the spatial relationships involved in musculoskeletal procedures.

The fifth edition includes numerous new videos and images demonstrating ultrasound-guided techniques.

Joint and Soft Tissue Injections

The instructional content addresses a broad range of injection procedures involving joints and surrounding soft tissues.

The emphasis is on practical procedural technique and clinically relevant anatomical guidance.

Extra-Axial Musculoskeletal Disorders

The guide addresses numerous musculoskeletal conditions affecting structures outside the axial skeleton and provides procedural approaches relevant to common clinical presentations.

Corticosteroid Injection Therapy

Updated fifth-edition content discusses the use of corticosteroids in injection practice, including their role within modern musculoskeletal treatment strategies.

Viscosupplementation

The updated edition also incorporates viscosupplementation as part of its discussion of contemporary injection therapies.

Orthobiologics

Orthobiologic therapies are included among the newly updated topics, reflecting their growing role in musculoskeletal and sports medicine procedures.

Nerve Blocks

The content covers commonly performed nerve blocks and provides procedural guidance relevant to clinicians incorporating regional injection techniques into practice.

Headache Injection Procedures

Injection procedures used in the treatment of selected headache disorders are also included within the broader procedural scope of the guide.

Skin and Soft Tissue Procedures

Selected skin disorders and related injection procedures are included alongside musculoskeletal techniques.

Advanced and Adjunctive Techniques

The fifth edition incorporates updated advanced and adjunctive approaches intended to expand the clinician’s procedural toolkit.

Clinical Topics Addressed

The procedural framework also emphasizes important considerations surrounding each injection, including:

• Relevant anatomy and landmarks
• Indications
• Contraindications
• When referral may be appropriate
• Special medical conditions
• Required equipment
• Procedural preparation
• Injection technique
• Potential complications
• Clinical documentation
• Post-procedure care

Why This Video Collection Is Relevant

Musculoskeletal injections are commonly performed across family medicine, sports medicine, orthopaedics, physical medicine, and other outpatient specialties.

One of the strengths of McNabb’s Practical Guide to Joint and Soft Tissue Injection, 5th Edition is its side-by-side approach to traditional landmark-guided procedures and ultrasound-guided techniques.

The procedural videos provide a visual complement to written instruction, allowing clinicians to observe technique, positioning, and procedural workflow from a perspective closely resembling that of the operator.

This makes the collection particularly useful for clinicians seeking to strengthen practical injection skills or expand their familiarity with ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal procedures.
