Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Rotator Cuff Tendonitis

In brief

This study attempts to determine the most accurate route for injection of the subacromial bursa in patients with rotator cuff tendonitis. Typically, in medical practice, one of the routes of injection is used. It has not been determined if one route is superior, or if all routes are equal in delivering medication into the subacromial bursa, which sits on top of the rotator cuff tendons.
