Glenohumeral joint injections serve diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in a wide spectrum of shoulder disorders. Various techniques have been described, depending on the injection site, needle orientation and utilisation of image or landmark-based guidance. The accuracy of needle placement and clinical effectiveness vary by the injection route and the method of guidance and largely depend on operator's expertise, clinical indication and patient's profile. Herein, we describe an alternative ultrasound-guided glenohumeral joint injection technique through a modified posterior approach for routine use in clinical practice.
肩关节注射在多种肩部疾病中具有诊断和治疗作用。根据注射部位、进针方向以及基于图像或体表标志的引导方式，已描述了多种技术。进针位置的准确性和临床效果因注射途径和引导方法而异，并且很大程度上取决于操作者的专业技能、临床适应症和患者情况。在此，我们描述一种通过改良后入路的超声引导肩关节注射技术，用于临床实践中的常规操作。
