Ultrasound guided injection of the rotator interval – Gaurav-Botchu technique

Abstract: Ultrasound-guided injection of the shoulder via the rotator interval can be challenging. The procedure is used for arthrograms, hydrodilatation and intra-articular glenohumeral joint injections. The conventional approach to the rotator interval is from lateral to medial. However, the placement of the needle in the target zone i.e. between the coracohumeral ligament and the long head of the biceps, can be difficult and challenging. Inadvertent injection performed with the needle in the long head of the biceps t… Show more

“…This is typically performed via a lateral to medial approach, where the average target area is 0.5 mm, making the precise needle placement challenging, especially for inexperienced clinicians 9 . Potential complications involving the RCI approach includes an unintentional injection into the long head of biceps, resulting in potential rupture of the biceps tendon, trauma to the supraspinatus muscle 9,10 and/or trauma to the subscapularis muscle.…”

“… 40 US-guided injection of the shoulder via the rotator interval technique is used for arthrograms, and intra-articular shoulder joint injections. 41 US-guided steroid injection procedure provides a dramatic improvement. When hyaluronic acid (HA) is considered, a more targeted site should be well-thought out to enhance the efficacy and prevent side effects.…”
