BACKGROUND Intraarticular injections for the local treatment of osteoarthritis are widely used in the office or hospital setting. Septic arthritis is a potential catastrophic complication of intraarticular injection, as bacterial arthritis of any cause is associated with up to 15% mortality and residual impairment of joint function in up to 50% of survivors. There is lack of evidence regarding ...

A case report of a missed appendicitis presenting with abdominal wall necrotising fasciitis which extended up to the right knee. This subcutaneous collection in the prepatella region of the right knee presented as a crepitus and mimicked an intraarticular pathology.

Background: Intraarticular distal radius fractures are commonly seen of the upper extremity showing bimodal distribution in pediatric and elderly adults. The age fracture is typically peaks 5-14 year group also patients more than 60 years age. Aim: To compare functional outcome intraarticular treated with k wire versus conservative management. Material methodology: study was conducted between J...

A 15-year-old boy with neurofibromatosis type 1 developed habitual dislocation of the right hip. No intraarticular pathology could be found in imaging studies. The dislocation became fixed during the follow-up.

The Neer and Hawkins impingement signs are commonly used to diagnose subacromial pathology, but the anatomy of these maneuvers has not been well elucidated in vivo. This 3-dimensional open magnetic resonance imaging study characterized shoulder anatomy and rotator cuff impingement in 8 normal volunteers placed in the Neer and Hawkins positions. Subacromial and intraarticular contact of the rota...

PVNS is a rare disorder characterised by benign proliferation of synovial tissue. The treatment is surgical but relapse rate is high (8% to 46%). We report a 13 years old girl with PVNS of the left knee diagnosed in February 2003. Three months after diagnosis she underwent surgical synovectomy. Two years later important swelling of left knee with pain and limitation of movement developed and MR...

10-Hydroxycamptothecin could reduce intraarticular adhesion by inhibiting fibroblasts proliferation after knee surgery. However, the ideal concentration of hydroxycamptothecin have not been defined. This study was tried to verify the optimal concentration of 10-hydroxycamptothecin in preventing knee intraarticular adhesion. Sixty rabbits were randomly divided into five groups. Approximately 10 ...

The results of three intraarticular injections of Synocrom in 25 patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) is presented. After 12 weeks the good result was found in 11 patients (44%), no result in 7 patients (28%).

Calcaneal fractures are rare in children but frequent in adults. We report 18 cases (20 feet) of pediatric calcaneal fractures before the distal tibial growth line closed to assess the characteristics of pediatric calcaneal fractures and reveal differences in treatment and prognosis between children and adults. Twelve (60%) of the fractures were extraarticular, a higher percentage than in adult...

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is found in high concentrations in cartilage and synovial fluid, and is an important component of the extracellular matrixes-exerting joint lubrication and buffering actions thanks to its viscoelastic properties. The present study examines the scientific evidence found in the current literature on the usefulness of the intraarticular injection of HA in patients with temporo...
