The role of steroid injection in joints and tendon sheaths in JIA in the biologic era

چکیده
Introduction Intraarticular injections are commonly used in children with JIA to induce prompt relief of symptoms of active synovitis, and obtain disease remission as sole therapy or in combination with systemic treatment. In the recent years, the wider use of musculoskeletal ultrasound allowed to detect more precisely the exact site of inflammation and showed to be a safe guide for injection procedures also in tendons sheaths and periarticular tissue.

Background: Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a tumor that arises from the synovial membrane of the joint or tendon sheaths. Two main forms include a diffuse form that involves the whole synovial lining of a joint, bursa, or tendon sheath, and a less common localized form. The diffuse form typically involves the large joints, while the localized one typically occurs around the small joints of...
