Administration of the drug into the joint under the guidance of orthopedic ultrasound250 PLN | e-Reservation »
Preparation
- The patient comes with his/her own medication.
- After the procedure, you should not overload the joint for about two days.
Description of the study
The procedure involves inserting a needle into the affected joint or other structure (e.g., muscle, fascia) under ultrasound guidance, allowing for local administration of medication.
The area of the puncture is disinfected with a disinfectant. The doctor inserts a sterile needle connected to a syringe into the joint. As it penetrates the skin and subcutaneous tissue, the patient feels a prick (usually mild and brief pain).
After the puncture (if the patient has their own medication), the doctor can administer medication directly into the joint/muscle, etc. (anti-inflammatory, anesthetic, etc.). After the needle is removed, the puncture site is covered with a sterile dressing, which can be removed the same day. It is important to avoid overloading the joint for approximately two days after the puncture.
