Accuracy of subacromial injection: Anterolateral versus posterior approach

摘要: Subacromial bursa injection is commonly performed via an anterolateral or posterior approach. No study has compared the accuracy rates of these approaches. Twenty cadaveric shoulders were injected with radiocontrast in subacromial approach and twenty a Ten methylene blue each technique for dissection. The was accurate by fluoroscopy 18 (90%), but dissection 10 revealed successful only 6 (60%). judged to be 16 (80%), confirmed 8 injections (80%) accurate. There no significant difference (P = .38) .33). approaches are not significantly different. may place material medial bursal boundary, accurately assess this placement.
