This cadaveric observation demonstrated that the US-guided proximal to distal approach is a convenient technique to access the elbow joint. Indeed, compared to the previously described techniques, the in-plane, proximal to distal approach may provide excellent needle visibility during the entire procedure, precisely targeting the articular space. Our preliminary data needs to be validated in additional clinical studies.
