Longitudinal
Ultrasound images show the 25G needle cannulating the ACJ in a transverse orientation, with the image stack showing the spread of the corticosteroid containing injectate.
Case Discussion
Ultrasound-guided procedures offer many advantages and direct visualization of the needle is key to a successful injection. An 'in-plane' technique, as shown above, means the needle path is parallel to the probe face, optimizing the view of the needle.
