Arthrography of the shoulder: a simple fluoroscopically guided approach for targeting the rotator cuff interval

Hélène Dépelteau et al. AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2004 Feb.

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this article is to describe a simplified fluoroscopically guided technique of shoulder joint injection that uses the rotator cuff interval.

Conclusion: Shoulder arthrography using an anterior approach through the rotator cuff interval is an effective, rapid, and easy-to-perform injection technique. In most patients, this technique can be performed using a 1.5-inch (3.8-cm), 22-gauge needle.
