Accuracy of Ultrasound‐Guided Versus Palpation‐Guided Acromioclavicular Joint Injections: A Cadaveric Study

Abstract: This cadaveric investigation suggests that sonographic guidance can be used to inject the ACJ with a high degree of accuracy, and should be considered superior to palpation guidance. Clinicians should consider using sonographic guidance to inject the ACJ when diagnostic specificity is paramount or when otherwise clinically indicated.

“…Además, es fácil sobrepasar los límites de la misma e introducir anestésico en el espacio subacromial, lo que invalidaría el resultado 18 . Diversos autores han publicado tasas de fracaso en la infiltración desde el 43% hasta el 66% [19][20][21][22] . Para mejorar estos porcentajes se han utilizado diversos méto-dos de imagen.…”

“…29,30) There are 3 methods of injection into the acromioclavicular joint, (1) when the probe is placed in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the lateral clavicle and its position is adjusted so that we see the joint in the center of the image: an out of plane method is used to insert the needle from the anterior skin to the posterior direction; (2) the image is adjusted so that the joint appears at the lateral side of the scan, then the needle is inserted from the lateral side of the probe so that the needle points towards the lateral edge of the clavicle, passing over the acromion, and penetrates the joint capsule; and (3) the probe is rotated 90 o so that the acromion is imaged in the transverse plane and then medially moved until no bony structure can be seen-the joint. The needle is inserted in an in-plane method from the anterior to the posterior.…”

“…The emergence of these new treatments, combined with the needle tenotomy techniques, have been made possible by the ability to visualize the degenerative tendon, perform percutaneous needling of the tendon and accurately place the injectate into the desired area.
