Background: Subacromial-subdeltoid (SASD) bursa and long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) sheath corticosteroid injection are commonly used to treat shoulder pain associated with arthritic shoulder conditions, but effectiveness in the stroke population is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the clinical effectiveness of ultrasound-guided SASD bursa combined with LHBT sheath corticosteroid injection for hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) compared with SASD bursa injection alone.
Methods: 60 patients with HSP were randomly allocated to the dual-target group ( = 30) and single-target group ( = 30). The single-target group received SASD bursa corticosteroid injection alone, and the dual-target group received SASD bursa and LHBT sheath corticosteroid injection. The primary endpoint was pain intensity measured on a visual analog scale (VAS). The secondary endpoint was passive range of motion (PROM) of the shoulder, Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer assessment (UEFMA) score, and Modified Barthel Index (MBI) score. PROM and pain intensity VAS were assessed at baseline and weeks 1, 4, and 12 post-treatment. UEFMA and MBI were recorded at baseline and weeks 4 and 12 post-treatment.
Results: A total of 141 patients with HSP were screened, and 60 patients were included. Significant differences in the VAS, PROM, UEFMA and MBI were observed at all follow-ups in both groups. The dual-target group showed a significant difference in VAS score compared with the single-target group (3.3 vs. 3.7, = 0.01) at week 4 and week 12 (2.5 vs. 3.2, < 0.001). Moreover, the dual-target group showed statistically significant differences in flexion ( < 0.001) at week 12, extension rotation ( < 0.001) at week 12, and abduction at week 1 ( = 0.003) and weeks 4 and 12 ( < 0.001) compared with the single-target group. There were significant differences in FMA and MBI scores in the two groups before and after treatment ( < 0.001), with a more significant increase in the dual-target group compared with the single-target group ( < 0.001) at week 12.
Conclusion: The combination of SASD bursa and LHBT sheath corticosteroid injection is superior to SASD bursa injection alone in reducing shoulder pain and improving functional activities in patients with HSP.

BAASIK technique: an innovative single needle technique of performing shoulder corticosteroid injections.
J Ultrasound
August 2024
Department of Musculoskeletal Radiology, Royal Orthopedic Hospital, Bristol Road South, Northfield, Birmingham, UK.
Article Synopsis
- - The BAASIK technique combines ultrasound-guided injections into the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa and biceps tendon sheath to treat shoulder pain caused by conditions like biceps tendonitis and rotator cuff impingement.
- - This approach increases treatment efficiency by using a single needle insertion point for both injections, reducing the need for multiple needlesticks.
- - The goal is to alleviate shoulder pain, improve function, and enhance treatment outcomes for patients with shoulder issues.

Introduction: Ultrasound measures of subacromial structures are reliable in the hands of experienced sonographers, but it remains unknown if inexperienced clinicians can achieve a satisfactory level of interrater reliability. The aim was to investigate if standardised subacromial ultrasound measures are reliable in the hands of novice sonographers.
Methods: Two novice sonographers performed standardised ultrasound measures on patients diagnosed with subacromial pain syndrome and asymptomatic shoulders.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of intra-bursal injection of single-dose platelet-rich plasma (PRP) against corticosteroids under ultrasonography guidance in shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS).
Materials And Methods: This single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted on 60 participants with a clinical diagnosis of SIS from a selected orthopedic clinic. Thirty participants in each arm were given a single dose of either PRP or triamcinolone acetonide into the subacromial sub-deltoid bursa (SASD) under ultrasonography guidance.
Intramuscular migration of calcium deposits into the deltoid muscle: two cases of a rare complication of rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy.

Rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy is a common non-traumatic shoulder pain condition that occurs predominantly in the supraspinatus tendon. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous irrigation of calcific tendinopathy (US-PICT) is a valid treatment in the resorptive phase. A complication of calcific tendinopathy is migration of calcium deposits outside the tendon.
