Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of local steroid injection for infraspinatus under ultrasonographic guidance in patients with posterior shoulder pain during horizontal adduction test.
Materials and Methods: Twenty one cases of patients, from May 2013 to May 2014, showed positive horizontal adduction test were retrospectively analyzed. We performed ultrasonography-guided infraspinatus injection using steroid to these patients in the outpatient clinics. We evalulated results for visual analogue score (VAS) for pain, UCLA score for these patients before injection, following 3 months and 6 months after injection.
Results: After ultrasonography-guided infraspinatus injection using steroid, there were clinically significant improvements in VAS and UCLA score at 3 month’s follow-up period (p<0.05). But there were no significant differences in VAS and UCLA score between 3 months and 6 months (p>0.05). Fourteen of 21 (67%) cases showed much improved and improved satisfaction. Respectively, seven of 21 (33%) cases showed not improved and aggravation satisfaction.
Conclusion: Ultrasonography-guided infraspinatus injection using steroid is an effective treatment method for the patients with exacerbated posterior shoulder pain during horizontal adduction test
