Ultrasound-guided pain interventions in shoulder region

Shoulder pain is one of the common complaints to physicians in general practice. Among therapeutic measures used to treat this pain, invasive techniques, such as joints and periarticular injection, as well as suprascapular and axillary nerve block, play a crucial role. Ultrasound guidance is a safe alternative to blind techniques, increasing the safety and accuracy of the procedure and reducing complications. A good understanding of the anatomy and sonoanatomy is of paramount importance in performing the ultrasound-guided injections.
