Ultrasound Guıded Multisıte Injectıon Technıque in the Treatment of Frozen Shoulder.

Abstract

Frozen shoulder (FS) is an elusive condition that affects patients' mental and emotional quality of their lives. Corticosteroid injection technique is one of the first-line treatment methods in the treatment of FS. Ultrasound (USG) guidance allows visualization of the shoulder anatomy and improves the accuracy of the injection site. This study describes an USG-guided injection technique for FS treatment. The aim of this technique was to affect glenohumeral joint and capsule, subacromial space, the long head of biceps tendon sheath, and the coracohumeral ligament. For this purpose, four different sites were injected by USG guidance. Patients with FS can be effectively treated through this technique that is detailed in this article.
