Abstract

Hydrodilation of the glenohumeral joint is commonly employed as a nonsurgical intervention for the frozen shoulder. Accuracy and pain during the procedure can be regarded as difficulties in performing this procedure. Ultrasonography (USG) guided injection and suprascapular nerve block can improve the accuracy and can decrease pain during the hydrodilation procedure. We present the step-by-step method for performing USG-guided injections for suprascapular nerve block and hydrodilation.
