Abstract:BackgroundThe safety rationale behind the constant needle motion injection technique is based on the assumption that due to the constant needle motion and simultaneous soft tissue filler material administration a smaller amount of product per area may be injected into an artery if an artery within the range of the moving needle is inadvertently entered.ObjectiveTo perform mathematical calculations for determining the probability for causing intra‐arterial product administration when constantly moving the needl… Show more
