Interventions

PROCEDURE3 nerves pulsed radiofrequency with hydrodissection

Patient will be in a sitting position, targeting the SSN, needle will be pushed towards floor of the suprascapular fossa, SSN is just adjacent to the suprascapular artery. The axillary nerve, between the deltoid muscle posteriorly, triceps muscle caudally and humerus anteriorly, axillary nerve appears as hyperechoic round in relation to posterior circumflex humeral artery. Lateral pectoral nerve, middle of coracoid process should be targeted, lie within hyperechoic fascial plane between pectoralis major and pectoralis minor muscle. hydrodissection, US transducer will be positioned inferior to scapular line , landmarks are contours of glenoid rim and humeral head, needle will be advanced until enter the GHJ capsule. A solution composed of 3 mL of lidocaine 1%, 3 mL of bupivacaine 0.25%, and 1 mL of dexamethasone 40 mg, followed by infusion of up to 40 mL of normal saline, until capsule is adequately distended and resistance felt

PROCEDUREsuprascapular nerve pulsed radiofrequency with hydrodissection

The patient will be positioned in a sitting position, PRF needle will be pushed forward towards the floor of the suprascapular fossa the SSN will be visualized just adjacent to the suprascapular artery. hydrodissection will be done under all aseptic measures ,the US transducer will be positioned just inferior to the scapular line , landmarks are contours of posterior glenoid rim and humeral head, needle will be advanced until the needle tip will enter the GHJ capsule. A solution composed of 3 mL of lidocaine 1%, 3 mL of bupivacaine 0.25%, and 1 mL of dexamethasone 40 mg, followed by an infusion of up to 40 mL of normal saline , until the capsule is adequately distended and resistance will be felt.
