BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that can lead to painful and dysfunctional joints. Prolotherapy involves using injections to produce functional restoration of the soft tissues of the joint. Intra-articular injections are controversial because of the introduction of needles into the articular capsule. OBJECTIVES To compare the effect of periarticular versus intra-artic...

Realignment of the hip knee and ankle can be achieved by extra-articular osteotomy if there is no intra-articular deformity or incongruity. Intra-articular osteotomy of the femoral head, femoral condyles, tibial plateaus and tibial plafond can all be achieved technically and biologically and lead to a congruous joint. This is a new frontier for realignment surgery extending the indications for ...

An outbreak of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus joint infections occurred at an outpatient radiology center. We identified 7 case patients; all had undergone magnetic resonance arthrograms with intra-articular joint injections. The outbreak was likely due to unsafe injection practices in preparation of contrast solution for intra-articular injection.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to report clinical results of open excision of extra-articular ganglion cysts around the knee joint combined with arthroscopic management of intra-articular pathologies if present. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of the total 107 cases of cystic lesions around the knee, 23 cases of extra-articular ganglion cysts were reviewed between January 2006 and July 2011. The...

OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to determine whether intra-articular administration of the potentially anti-fibrotic agent decorin influences the expression of genes involved in the fibrotic cascade, and ultimately leads to less contracture, in an animal model. METHODS A total of 18 rabbits underwent an operation on their right knees to form contractures. Six limbs in group 1 received f...
