Abstract
Different interventional radiology techniques used in the management of the painful shoulder will be reviewed in this article. The etiology of shoulder pain is variable, and several image guided procedures are available, from simple to more complex. US and fluoroscopy guided intra-articular and bursal infiltration techniques will be described. Percutaneous needle removal of calcific deposits and capsular distension/infiltration of adhesive capsulitis will be discussed. Cysts in the spinoglenoid or suprascapular notch may cause impingement of the suprascapular nerve and may be aspirated under US guidance. Finally, percutaneous radio-frequency treatment of symptomatic bone metastases under CT guidance may at times be performed. Musculoskeletal radiologists should be familiar with this spectrum of image guided interventional procedures.
