Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video illustrates injection methods of the Gluteal region or the buttock.
Gluteal injection, buttock injection or Glute injection is common but it can injure the sciatic nerve.
INTRAMUSCULAR INJECTION OF THE BUTTOCK SHOULD BE SAFE.
Glute (buttock) injection is a universal procedure that is commonly used around the world.
The injection has to be safe.
Selecting the proper site that avoids injury to the neurovascular structures is important.
The sciatic nerve could be at risk for the injury during buttock injection.
Buttock is divided into quadrants.
Divide the buttock halfway down the middle and halfway across.
Injection is given in the center of the upper, outer quadrant.
Injection into the other quadrants may cause injury to the neurovascular structures.
Another helpful method could confirm a safe site for injection is to draw a line from the posterior superior edge of the iliac spine to the greater trochanter.
The area above the line is considered to be the safe zone for intramuscular injection.
This corresponds with the upper outer quadrant of the buttock and is the exact safe site for the buttock injection.
