Vascular & IR # 689Nov 3, 2026Understanding Foot & Ankle Embolization Techniques

On this episode of the BackTable 2026 MSK Creator Weekend™, Dr. Osman Ahmed and Dr. Anuj Malhotra join host Dr. Ally Baheti to discuss embolization for plantar fasciitis and insertional Achilles tendinopathy. They describe the classic patient, the windlass test, point-of-care ultrasound to track fascia thickness, and how they counsel patients when the evidence is early and a second session is common.
Bone & Sports # 120Oct 27, 2026Understanding Shoulder Embolization: Techniques & Patient Outcomes

For patients with frozen shoulder who have failed injections and months of physical therapy, can embolization offer relief when there are no good surgical options left? On this episode of the BackTable 2026 MSK Creator Weekend™, Dr. Anuj Malhotra of NYU Langone Hospital Long Island and Dr. Ahmed Farag of Advanced Vascular Institute in Panama City, Florida, join host Dr. Kavi Krishnasamy to examine shoulder embolization for adhesive capsulitis, osteoarthritis, and chronic rotator cuff tendinopathy. They cover the workup, how long to persist with conservative care, who makes the ideal candidate, and why the evidence outside adhesive capsulitis is still thin.
