[A new technique for intramuscular injections (author's transl)]

Area of Science:

• Medicine
• Anatomy
• Surgical Techniques

Context:

• Intramuscular injections are common medical procedures.
• Hochstetter's technique for gluteus medius injections presents practical challenges.
• A need exists for simpler, safer intramuscular injection methods.

Purpose:

• To introduce a novel, simplified intramuscular injection technique for the gluteus medius muscle.
• To address the practical limitations of Hochstetter's method.
• To improve safety and ease of administration for gluteal injections.

Summary:

• A new intramuscular injection method is described, targeting the gluteus medius muscle.
• This technique simplifies anatomical orientation, reduces risks to vessels and nerves, and improves asepsis.
• The described method allows for patient injections in any position, including recumbent.

Impact:

• The simplified technique offers a more practical and safer alternative for gluteal intramuscular injections.
• Improved ease of performance and safety can enhance patient care and provider efficiency.
• This method potentially reduces complications associated with intramuscular injections.
