conclusions although postoperative intra-articular meperidine is a better alternative for bupivacaine, their combination could improve their analgesic effects compared with each other alone. results the bupivacaine-meperidine group had better duration of postoperative analgesia (p = 0.001), latter first analgesic request (p ≤ 0.001), lower total fentanyl consumption in first 24 hours after the ...

introduction intra-articular injections of platelet rich plasma (prp) for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis have been shown to reduce pain and improve joint function. the aim of this study is to examine the joint function by adding intra-articular growth hormone to platelet rich plasma. this study was performed on the individuals with knee osteoarthritis and under ultrasound guidance. conclu...

OBJECTIVE One of the critical components in the postoperative care is pain. Given that little research has been done regarding the analgesic effects of intra-articular injection of ketamine, this study was aimed to compare the analgesic effect of intra-articular and extra-articular injection of morphine and ketamine compound in arthrotomy surgery under spinal anesthesia. METHODS A total of 50...

background:chronic synovitis is one of the most important complications in haemophilic patients. rifampin is anantibiotic which its intra-articular injecion leads to destruction of the synovial membrane of haemophilic patientsmedically.materials and methods: between september 2003 and november 2005, we administered intra-articular rifampinin ١۶ haemophilic joints of ٨ haemophilic patients.resul...

Background & Aims: One of cell- based technical issues associated with cartilage repair assay is delivering cells to the site of the parts where damage is created. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with their chondrogenic potential are ideal candidates for cartilage regeneration. High expression of cartilage hypertrophy markers by MSCs would result in apoptosis and ossification. This investigation ...

BACKGROUND Intra-articular injection of tranexamic acid (TXA) is known to be effective in controlling blood loss after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, this method has some disadvantages, such as TXA leakage due to soft tissue release. Peri-articular injection provides an alternative to intra-articular administration of TXA. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of peri-articular inje...

OBJECTIVES Recent studies have shown that systemic injection of rapamycin can prevent the development of osteoarthritis (OA)-like changes in human chondrocytes and reduce the severity of experimental OA. However, the systemic injection of rapamycin leads to many side effects. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of intra-articular injection of Torin 1, which as a specific inhi...

Twenty-six patients with frozen shoulder syndrome (Stage 2 and 3) were included in this study conducted at Dr. Kariadi General Hospital, Semarang, Indonesia and randomly allocated into 2 groups: 40 mg triamcinolone intra-articular injection and triamcinolone oral tablets. The result showed that triamcinolone intra-articular injection group "cured" rate was 5.8 times higher at week one compared ...

Introduction: In this research, [166Ho]Holmium chitosan complex production is described in details, followed by determination of complex radiochemical purity, stability and biodistribution (after intra-articular injection) in wild-type male rats. Finally a Ho-166 based chitosan kit for ultimate radiosynovectomy as well as radiotherapy applications was developed. Methods: 166</s...
