Is the intramuscular injection in the buttocks the same as the hypodermic injection site?

The most commonly used injection part for hip injection is the gluteus maximus, followed by the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. The gluteus maximus is positioned from the anterior superior iliac spine to the outer third of the coccyx as the injection site. The gluteus medius and gluteus minimus are placed at the anterior superior iliac spine and the lower edge of the iliac crest with the tip of the index finger and the tip of the middle finger, respectively, forming a triangular area between the iliac crest, index finger, and middle finger. The injection site is in the angle formed by the index finger and the middle finger.

The injection sites often used for subcutaneous injection are: the lower edge of the deltoid muscle of the upper arm, the outer side of the upper arm, the front side of the thigh, the outer side of the thigh, the lower abdomen, and under the shoulders and feet.

The difference between hip intramuscular injection and skin injection is that the injected liquid is more irritating and the amount of medicine is larger. Larger needles and needle tubes are used (1 ml needle tube for skin injection, 2~5 ml needle tube for intramuscular injection) , The needle is inserted deeper and the needle tube is perpendicular to the skin surface.
