Abstract
The objective of this article is to describe a simplified fluoroscopically guided technique of shoulder joint injection that uses the rotator cuff interval. 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.
