Shoulder Acromioclavicular Joint Injectionвђ Out Of Plane Approach This video demonstrates an injection of the acromioclavicular (ac) joint. note that the needle is out of plane and you can only see the tip of the needle as. The acromioclavicular (ac) joint is a common pain generator in patients presenting with shoulder pain. the incidence of ac joint pain is reported to be roughly 0.5 per 1000 year in primary care.[1] pain in the ac joint can be traumatic or non traumatic. traumatic ac joint pain is typically the result of a direct blow to the superior or lateral aspect of the shoulder.[2] the impact results in a.
Ultrasound Training Acromioclavicular Joint Injection Procedure Am fam physician. 2003;67 (6):1271 1278. the shoulder is the site of multiple injuries and inflammatory conditions that lend themselves to diagnostic and therapeutic injection. joint injection. Using a luer lock syringe to inject the smaller acj will mean no disconnection of the needle and syringe during the injection, as the joint is often under pressure. a suggested syringe and injectate selection for an ultrasound guided acj anesthetic arthrogram injection 5 ml syringe: 3 ml of local anesthetic i.e. 1% lidocaine. Ultrasound guided injection for the acromioclavicular joint. notes: (a) cadaver model of the acromioclavicular joint, stabilized by ligaments connecting the acromion, the coracoid process, and the clavicle. (b) coronal cross section of a cadaveric acromioclavicular joint. dashed triangle indicates the articular disc and white arrowheads point. Abstract there are several approaches to inject the acromioclavicular joint (acj). the out of plane technique, anterior to posterior, short axis to the joint, described in this chapter is an effective approach to deliver a therapeutic agent into the intraarticular space while avoiding nearby structures including the acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments.

The volume of injectate is 1 2 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine with 10 20 mg methylprednisolone acetate), and the approach of needle can be in plane or out of plane (fig. 4). a few clinical pearls are mentioned here. the acj is very shallow and the needle should not be inserted for more than 1 cm deep into the joint. The subacromial bursa is the most commonly injected structure in the shoulder. indications include rotator cuff pathology, impingement syndrome, and subacromial bursitis. subacromial injection of lidocaine is often used to diagnose impingement and offers rationale for subacromial decompression surgery. 2.
