Effect of US-guided steroid injection in the antero-lateral recess of the posterior subtalar joint . Lateral oblique longitudinal scanning planes. (A) Before injection there is an enlarged hypoechoic antero-lateral recess (Syn), with distinct deep margins (arrows), bulging into the hyperechoic fat of the tarsal sinus between talus and calcaneus (Calc), and (B) synovial hyperemia at color Doppler examination. (C) One week after injection the recess is not visualized (D) and there is complete regression of synovial hyperemia.
