Tendon injections

Tendons commonly causing pain or functional symptoms around the elbow include the common extensor origin (CEO) or common flexor origin (CFO) and less often the triceps tendon (TT).

on the treatment couch, with the elbow bent and the hand in a semi-supinated position (Fig. 8.2.3A). Resting the hand against the body adds further stability. A similar position can be taken in the seated position with the arm resting atop of the treatment couch (F 8.2.3B). Both will enable access to the common extensor origin (CEO).
humerus and radial head can be identified, with the common extensor tendon inserting onto the LE and the radial collateral ligament beneath (Fig. 8.2.3CeE). It should also be visualised in an SAX view and also care should be taken to look out for the radial nerve and its branches.

(Fig. 8.2.3FeH), guiding the needle from a distal to proximal direction at approximately 15 degrees. It is important to ensure the bevel faces down and it can be brought to rest upon the tendon before injecting a small volume to separate this from the overlying tissue. Once this separation is noted, the needle can be withdrawn and the HVI (tendon stripping) can be undertaken or the CSI can be delivered to this space. In situations where a PRP injection is undertaken for the tendon, the needle is introduced into the tendon and a fenestration technique is used to deliver it into the structure. Care must be taken to avoid injury to the Radial nerve.

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 above or within the CEO.

and externally rotated position to expose the common flexor origin (CFO) (Fig. 8.2.4A). Supine, the patient can have the arm supinated and slightly abducted (Fig. 8.2.4B). In the prone position, the patient can rest their arm flat on their back with the elbow flexed to 90 degrees and the hand in a semi-pronated position (Fig. 8.2.4C). The latter tends to be a more stable position to perform a procedure. With the transducer in the LAX orientation, the medial epicondyle (ME) of the humerus and ulnar can be identified, with the CFO inserting onto the ME. The ulnar collateral ligament is located beneath (Fig. 8.2.4DeG). This can be seen in all three patient positions. An SAX view can help to visualise the ulnar nerve prior to undertaking the injection.

Needle: 1- to 1.5-inch 25- or 27-gauge needle. Syringes: 3 mL for CSI, 10 mL(s) for HVI. Medication: 20 mg triamcinolone (0.5 mL) and 1%

It is important to ensure the bevel faces down and it can be brought to rest upon the tendon before injecting a small volume to separate this from the overlying tissue. Once this separation is noted, the needle can be withdrawn and the HVI (tendon stripping) is undertaken or the CSI can be delivered to this space. If a PRP injection is being undertaken for the tendon, the needle is passed into the tendon and a fenestration technique is used to distribute the solution within the structure.

The patient can be seated or lying supine with elbow slightly flexed and shoulder externally rotated, or prone with the shoulder internally rotated and the arm on the back. 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 above or within the CFO.

the surface of the treatment couch and keep the elbow bent. This position exposes the posterior elbow and the triceps tendon (TT) (Fig. 8.2.5.A). In the sitting position, a similar position can be used to access the area (Fig. 8.2.5.B). Although both are somewhat awkward for the patient, but by placing the palm flat, it enhances stability for the subsequent injection. In both patient positions, the TT can be followed in an LAX orientation to its insertion at the Olecranon (Fig. 8.2.5.C, D
and E). It can also be assessed in the SAX by rotating the

In both the side-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 TT.

Ligament injection

The two most commonly injected ligaments in the elbow include the laterally placed radial collateral (RCL) or the medially situated ulnar collateral (UCL). These may cause pain and stability issues around the elbow, particularly with repeated throwing activities or a sudden trauma.
