For a shoulder arthrogram, a longer needle is typically required to penetrate through the soft tissue and reach the joint space. A 2 3/4- to 3 1/2-inch spinal needle is commonly used for this purpose, as it provides the necessary length and precision for the introduction of contrast media into the joint.
