Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes intramuscular injection of the vastus lateralis muscle in the thigh.
Vastus Lateralis Intramuscular Injection
The vastus lateralis muscle is a common site for intramuscular injection. To inject, first locate the greater trochanter of the femur. The top border of the vastus lateralis muscle can be found a hand width below the groin. The bottom border of the vasus lateralis muscle is found a hand above the knee. The side borders are from the mid anterior thigh to the mid lateral thigh. Squeezing the muscle before injection increases the thickness and depth of the muscle and avoids nerve injuries. Make sure you do not advance the needle deep to touch the bone. Aspirate before you inject.
