Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes the injection technique for the subacromial bursa, shoulder bursitits.
The subacromial bursa separates the supraspinatus tendon from the acromion.
The bursa aids the motion of the supraspinatus tendon of the rotator cuff in overhead activities.
Subacromial bursitis is a condition caused by inflammation of the bursa and it is often treated with injection.
The injection site is about 2cm below the posterolateral corner of the acromion.
Technique:
- Landmarks are placed for injection of the bursa.
- Injection site is disinfected with betadine.
- The tip of the needle will be targeted towards the superior aspect of the acromion.
- Aspirate or inject accordingly.
