The Glenohumeral Joint Injection & Aspiration Ultrasound-Guided Procedure Module starts with a review of the anatomy of the glenohumeral joint and relevant surrounding structures. It defines commonly agreed upon indications for glenohumeral joint injection/aspiration and reviews the sonographic anatomy and relevant anatomic landmarks that are instrumental to performing the procedure. The module discusses procedure preparation and sonographic technique for procedure execution, as well as reviews procedure tips, pitfalls, and potential complications. One is able to develop the requisite cognitive task awareness and visuospatial skills required to perform ultrasound-guided glenohumeral joint injection and aspiration through the three hands-on simulation points.
