How and Where to Inject An anteromedial approach should be used (this approach avoids the anterior neurovascular structures). For the anteromedial approach, palpate the tibialis anterior tendon at the level of the distal tibia. A depression should be palpated just medial to the tibialis anterior tendon at the lower margin of the tibia.
After sterile preparation and with aseptic technique, the needle is inserted and advanced at a right angle to the ankle. If the needle hits the bone, the needle is withdrawn slightly and redirected into the joint space. There should be little resistance to injection if the needle is in the joint. If there is resistance, the needle may be in a ligament or tendon, and the position should be changed. Aspirate the joint before injecting to ensure that gross signs of infection are not present and to avoid intravascular administration.
