Research summary
To assess the effectiveness of a novel way of injecting the subacromial space from the front of the shoulder (anteriorly)-the described approaches are laterally and posteriorly. We have been using this technique with good clinical effect for many years and would like to assess the accuracy of injection placement radiologically. We feel the technique is easier to perform than other described methods and could be taught to clinicians throughout the country.
