Core Tip	Some of the fluid injected with the intention of injecting into the shoulder joint appears to end up next to the joint. This is often attributed to leakage. It appears that in a part of the injections, the fluid doesn't leak out of the joint, but is deposited next to it if part of the needle opening is located outside the capsule. A different injection technique appears to have significantly reduced this risk. Based on this idea, a different injection technique was chosen: The Delaware method. This significantly increases the chance of accurate injection compared to the traditional method.
