Anterolateral Approach

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The randomised group of patients receiving the subacromial steroid injection via an anterolateral approach

Procedure: Anterolateral subacromial steroid injection

Posterior Approach

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The randomised group of patients receiving the subacromial steroid injection via a posterior approach

Procedure: Posterior subacromial steroid injection

Interventions

Applying to the anterolateral approach arm, this group will receive their subacromial steroid injection via an anterolateral approach

Anterolateral Approach

Applying to the posterior approach arm, this group will receive their subacromial steroid injection via an posterior approach

Posterior Approach
