Conclusions:
The anterior and lateral routes of subacromial bursal injection were more accurate than the posterior route. The accuracy of subacromial bursal injection was significantly different between males and females, mainly because of a lower accuracy of bursal injection with use of the posterior route in females. The present study suggests that the posterior route is the least accurate method for injection of the subacromial bursa in females.
