Short-term outcomes of subacromial injection of combined corticosteroid with low-volume compared to high-volume local anesthetic for rotator cuff impingement syndrome: A randomized controlled non-inferiority trial
European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology Feb 14, 2018
Boonard M, et al. - Experts undertook a comparative analysis of high volumes (10 cc) of local anesthetic (LA) combined with triamcinolone acetate (TA) with low volumes (4 cc) of LA combined with TA in order to gauge if the latter would provide similar pain, function and complication outcomes for subacromial injections in patients with impingement syndrome. Data illustrated that corticosteroid injections could be used in the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome. When compared with high-volume (10 cc) corticosteroid injections, non-inferior pain results for VAS score were yielded via low-volume (4 cc) corticosteroid injections.
