The patient can be positioned in a prone or seated position with the arm positioned suitably for stability. The needle can be guided into the supra-scapular notch, using an IP technique from lateral-to-medial, with the transducer in a LAX orientation. The needle tip should be seen beneath the ligament.

8.2 Elbow

Superficial structures around the elbow can be readily identified and injected under ultrasound guidance with the patient either in a sitting or lying position. In both po­sitions, the joint can be supported with a pillow or firm support to limit movement. By altering the elbow position, it can help bring the structure under treatment to a more superficial position.

Joint injections

Although intra-articular aspects of the elbow joint cannot be assessed using ultra­sound, superficial degenerative changes, such as osteophytes, can be seen. Guided treatments can be performed from the lateral aspect by injections into the Radio­Capitella joint (RCJ), for degenerative and pain-related symptoms, or the posterior joint line (PJL) aspect for degenerative changes or impingement extension. If the fat pad (PFP) is being caught, this can also be injected.

with the transducer in a LAX oreintation, guiding the needle from a distal to proximal position at approximately 45 degrees (Fig. 8.2.1FeH). It is important to ensure the bevel faces down into the joint to prevent extravasation. An OOP approach can also be used when there is considerable degenerative disease (Fig. 8.2.1IeK), with the transducer placed over the joint line and the needle entry perpendicular to the skin. In the latter, the needle can be seen passing vertically into the joint.

The patient can be lying supine or seated with the elbow slightly flexed to open the joint and the hand placed against the body to add further stability. The injection can be undertaken using an IP approach, from a distal-to-proximal, with the transducer in the LAX orientation. The needle tip should be seen within the RCJ.

followed in an LAX orientation to its insertion at the olecranon (Fig. 8.2.2CeE). Beneath this sits the posterior fat pad (PFP) and from here the posterior joint line (PJL) can be visualised. It can also be assessed in the SAX with the triceps seen in cross-section (Fig. 8.2.2FeH).

OOP approach with the transducer in the LAX and just adjacent to the medial border of the triceps tendon (Fig. 8.2.2IeK). Care must be taken not to take the needle into the substance of the TT. Alternatively, the transducer can be placed in the SAX over the tendon and the needle is introduced using an IP approach at approximately 45 degrees (Fig. 8.2.2LeN). The former is more suited to a posterior joint and the latter for a fat pad injection. In both situations it is important to be aware of the ulnar and radial nerve positions to avoid potential injury.

FIGURE 8.2.2 Injections to the PJL and PFP.
In both the lying and seated positions, the patient can place their hand flat on the treatment couch, with the posterior elbow exposed, to add further stability during the procedure. The injection can be undertaken using an IP or OOP approach with the transducer in a LAX or SAX orientation. The needle tip should be seen within the joint or PFP.
