BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Effective pain control following outpatient surgical procedures is an important aspect of patient discharge. This study was carried out with an aim to investigate the histopathological effects of intra-articular dexketoprofen trometamol injection in knee joint on synovium and cartilage in an experimental rat model. METHODS In each of 40 rats, the right knee was designa...

Background Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative disease. Prolotherapy is an alternative therapy used in multiple musculoskeletal disorders. Objective To compare the effectiveness of intra-articular dextrose injection versus peri-articular prolotherapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods Fifty-two adults with painful primary knee osteoarthritis for at least three months we...

As one of the many causes groin pain, iliopsoas tendinitis can be hard to identify and even harder treat. It occurs in setting both native hip joint following total arthroplasty. Internal snapping, or coxa saltans, result from snapping over anterior capsule iliopectineal eminence a source labral pathology. The painful painless. Iliopsoas impingement components either cup collar femoral stem are...

Hip pain in young adults is not always caused by intra-articular pathology, even in the presence of abnormal examination and imaging findings. Therefore, management of young adult hip pain requires processes that identify patients who are likely to benefit from surgical intervention. An important investigation in the diagnostic pathway is the intra-articular injection; a negative response to th...

Localized herpes zoster following intra-articular corticosteroid injection is remarkable. We describe an 80-year-old woman with severe osteoarthritis that received an intra-articular injection of 80 mg methylprednisolone in her knee, followed 1 day later by the appearance of linear unilateral vesicles and bullae on her leg in a dermatomal distribution adjacent to the injection site. The roofs o...

introduction: although, the effect of direct intra-articular injection of bone marrow stem cells (bmscs) on the repair of articular cartilage and the effect of elaeagnus angustifolia extract on pain relief in patients with osteoarthritis have been investigated, no studies has been conducted to compare the effects of these two therapeutic methods on the mechanical properties of articular cartila...

With increasing life expectancy, the demand for preservation of native articular cartilage is increasing to delay joint arthroplasties. In the knee, there are many different strategies to preserve the articular cartilage including but not limited to corrective osteotomies, chondral injury restoration, intraarticular injection of cells or growth factors(PRP). However, One of the most important s...

OBJECTIVE To develop and assess a simple, inexpensive method for ascertaining the placement of intra-articular injections for knee osteoarthritis METHODS During a one year period patients with "dry" osteoarthritis of the knee who received intra-articular therapy were tested by air-arthrography. Along with triamcinolone and lignocaine (lidocaine), 5 ml of air was injected into the joint. On su...

BACKGROUND Prevention of arthrofibrosis by different drugs and surgical techniques is an essential issue in modern orthopedics. HYPOTHESIS Intra-articular injection of bevacizumab can reduce arthrofibrosis on the rabbit's stifle joint model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Arthrofibrosis was induced in the right stifle joint of thirty male New Zealand white rabbits by removing the cortical bone of th...

In case of intra-articular osteoid osteoma, misdiagnosis as juvenile arthritis may occur, delaying adequate treatment. We report cases of intra-articular osteoid osteomas in children that were misdiagnosed and initially inappropriately treated with intra-articular corticoid injection. Diagnosis of osteoid osteoma was finally given by CT-scan and appropriate treatment by radiofrequency ablation ...
