[QUOTE="madman, post: 110179, member: 13851"] Regarding the dorsogluteal (upper outer quadrant) injection which was considered the standard old school method and although there are major nerves and blood vessels including the (sciatic nerve and superior gluteal artery) as long as the injection is done in the upper outer quadrant it should be safe mind you one could still inject in the wrong area and nick the sciatic nerve. There also tends to be more fatty tissue in this area and in some studies it has been shown that when even using the standard 22 gauge 1 and a half inch needle in heavier set individuals the injection was subcutaneous and not i.m. as the needle length did not reach the muscle tissue. The more common method is injecting in the ventrogluteal which is sparse of any major supply of nerves or blood vessels while remaining well perfused from smaller branches. There also tends to be less subcutaneous fat and a thicker muscle mass than the dorsogluteal. [/QUOTE]
