A 22-gauge Quincke needle is used to cannulate the posterior glenohumeral joint, with an injection of iodinated contrast confirming an intra-articular position.
From the case:
Glenohumeral arthrogram injection (fluoroscopic guided)
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/93643/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
Post injection of 7mL of the arthrogram solution, showing a distended glenohumeral joint.
Case Discussion
Posterior glenohumeral joint injections avoid the bicipital sling, unlike the anterior rotator cuff interval approach.
