Effectiveness of Ultrasound-Guided Versus Anatomic Landmark-Guided Corticosteroid Injection on Pain, Physical Function, and Safety in Patients With Subacromial Impingement Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided versus anatomic landmark-guided corticosteroid injection for the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome.

Design

PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov , CBM, CNKI, and Wanfang databases were searched from inception to August 15, 2021, for randomized controlled trials comparing ultrasound-guided versus anatomic landmark-guided injections of corticosteroids for the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome.

Results

Twelve randomized controlled trials with 891 patients were included in this study; 454 patients received ultrasound-guided injections and 437 received anatomic landmark-guided injections. Poo
