Medicines used in our medical center for intra-articular injections:
Hyaluronic acid - is a substance that replaces joint fluid and improves joint mechanics. With age, the amount of natural acid in the synovial fluid of our joints decreases, which slows down the production of elastin. As a result, friction and destruction of cartilage increases. Intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid solves this problem: it restores the hydration of the cartilage, makes it elastic and slows down the aging of the joint.
Intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid have long-term effectiveness - the course of treatment needs to be repeated only once a year.
Glucocorticosteroids - are drugs based on hormones that reduce inflammatory processes. A fast, highly effective way to relieve severe pain. The frequency of injections is determined exclusively individually.
PRP therapy - is a procedure with a wide spectrum of action, used both in orthopedics and in the fields of aesthetic medicine. The preparation is made from the patient's blood by centrifugation. In this way, the blood is separated into several layers and blood plasma saturated with platelets is collected. Such injections are part of complex treatment for inflammatory processes of the joints, post-traumatic conditions, poor fusion of bone fractures. This is a new, modern method of treatment that has already proven its high efficiency.
What can cause pain in the knee joint?
Pain in the knee joint periodically appears in almost everyone. But sometimes it is simply unbearable and becomes chronic, which significantly worsens the patient's quality of life and forces him to abandon his usual routine. Inability to walk freely, sit down, not to mention playing sports or exercising. Diseases of the knee joint are often manifested not only by pain, but also by a feeling of crunch in the joint, an increase in its volume and the spread of pain to the leg or thigh. There are many causes of pain in the knee joint, but the most common are:
- Post-traumatic inflammatory diseases
- Injuries of the musculo-ligamentous complex of the knees
- Degenerative and dystrophic diseases of knee joints
- Arthritis of specific genesis, septic arthritis
How is medication injected into the joint cavity?
The course of treatment is made individually, and in general it is several injections with an interval of up to two weeks between them. In general, the course can last up to 2 months. The procedure is usually painless, so local anesthetics are not used for anesthesia. To control the administration of drugs, needle navigation under an ultrasound sensor is used, in particular, injections into the hip joint are performed under X-ray control.
Such treatment is effective not only in the case of diseases of the knee joints. Intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid at the Rudenko Medical Center are also performed for pathologies of the shoulder, hip and elbow joints.
Administration of drugs intra-articular does not require a constant visit to the doctor. The course of treatment must be completed only once a year in order to maintain the result and cumulative effect.
Intra-articular administration of drugs is not limited to hyaluronic acid. If needed, this unique method of targeted joint treatment can be used to deliver glucocorticosteroids into the joints - for certain conditions when the first line of therapy is no longer effective, and plasmalifting or PRP therapy - the injection of one's own blood plasma into the joint after centrifugation - a unique way to support the joints after injuries, promotes their rapid recovery and activates bone consolidation processes.
It is necessary to remember the presence of contraindications to intra-articular administration of drugs. These are diseases such as:
- Hemophilia
- Phenylketonuria
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Allergic reactions to the component of medicines
- Oncological processes
