Ventrogluteal injections are now the preferred method amongst many healthcare professionals. The tissue around your ventrogluteal site is very thick and far removed from any major blood vessels or nerves.
Where exactly is the venteoglutte? I've tried looking it up and think it's more on your side just below hip bone but a little scary venturing that far off the traditional glute area. I've heard horror stories about people hitting the sciatic.
