Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) frequently causes shoulder pain. This study aimed to (1) assess the predictive utility of quantitative dynamic subacromial ultrasound for ultrasound-guided dual-target injections and (2) compare the long-term efficacy of dual-target injections with standard subdeltoid-subacromial injections in SIS patients.
