Administration of the drug into the joint under orthopedic ultrasound guidance

You should come to the procedure with your own medicine. After the procedure, do not strain the joint for about two days.

The service involves inserting a needle into the affected joint/other structure (e.g., muscle, fascia) under ultrasound guidance, so that a local drug can be administered.
The puncture area is disinfected with a disinfectant. The doctor inserts a sterile needle connected to a syringe into the joint. As it passes through the skin and subcutaneous tissue, the patient feels a sting (as a rule, the pain is not very strong and lasts a short time).
After the puncture (if the patient has his medication), the doctor has the option of administering the drug directly into the joint/muscle, etc. (anti-inflammatory, anesthetic, etc.). After removing the needle, the puncture site is protected with a sterile dressing, which can be removed the same day. It is important to remember not to strain the joint for about two days after the puncture.
