Abstract

Here, we present a case of bicipital fasciitis after intraarticular injection of the shoulder joint. Bicipital fasciitis was diagnosed using real-time ultrasonography. The infection was probably due to non-compliance with aseptic conditions. Therefore, we also want to emphasise the importance of using an aseptic technique.
