Chronic and acute shoulder pain and dysfunction are common complaints among
patients. Shoulder pain may be the result of abnormality involving the rotator
cuff, subacromial-subdeltoid bursa, biceps tendon, glenoid labrum, glenohumeral
joint, acromioclavicular joint, sternoclavicular joint, or glenohumeral joint
capsule. Ultrasound-guided (USG) procedures of the shoulder are well established
for interventional management. Ultrasound provides the advantages of excellent
soft tissue resolution, injection accuracy, low cost, accessibility, portability,
lack of ionizing radiation, and the ability to perform real-time image-guided
procedures. The purpose of this article is to review common indications and
effective techniques for USG injections about the shoulder.
