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.
