BACKGROUND Intra-articular glenohumeral joint injections are essential procedures for treating various shoulder disorders. Fluoroscopy-guided injections have been extensively used;however, they pose a risk of radiation exposure and are expensive and timeconsuming. Recently, it has been suggested that ...
Injection techniques for the shoulder include palpation (anatomic landmarks) and visually guided (ultrasound and fluoroscopy) approaches. We will focus the discussion on visually guided techniques for the three major anatomic locations for shoulder injections: (1) subacromial/subdeltoid bursa, (2) glen...
On 16 patients with acromyoclavicular joint luxation, kirschner wire osteosynthesis was per- formed under percutaneous fluoroscopy and they were enabled to return sports within 2.3 months in average (Fig. 6). Patients were enabled to return sports...
The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint. The ball portion of the joint is called the humeral head. The humeral head is the uppermost part of the humerus, or upper arm bone. The shoulder socket is called the glenoid fossa. This socket is shallow and is part of the scapula (shoul...
To ensure that an injection is made into the correct location in the shoulder, many experts suggest using ultrasound or fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopy is a radiographic imaging technique that allows doctors to conduct a procedure while watching a real-time X-ray movie. If fluoroscopy is used, contrast ...
All corticosteroid injections were administered freehand by the senior author without the use of fluoroscopy or any other image-guided technology. The injections were given into the subacromial (SA) space and/or the glenohumeral (GH) joint. Whether one or both locations were injected depended on ...
Glenohumeral joint injection: a comparative study of ultrasound and fluoroscopically guided techniques before MR arthrography To assess the variability in accuracy of contrast media introduction, leakage, required time and patient discomfort in four different centres, each using a...

Efficacy of fluoroscopy-guided triple shoulder injection for older patients with nonspecific shoulder pain Key Summary PointsAimThe study was to evaluate the effects of fluoroscopy-guided triple shoulder injection (i.e. injection into glenohumeral joint, subacro... I Cuce,S Sencan,FU Demir,... -...
Seven studies investigated the injection of dye, local anaesthetic, and corticosteroid into the LHBT sheath (Supplementary Table17). None compared injection with no injection or placebo. Six reported greater accuracy and pain relief when injections were guided by ultrasound or fluoroscopy than unguided...
Although not required, the position of the IM lead 400 or electrode 402 may be checked by imaging techniques, such as ultrasound or X-rays (fluoroscopy). Following placement of the lead(s), the portion of the leads which exits the skin may be secured to the skin using covering bandages ...
