Hat Yai News Center – Doctor of Orthopedic Surgery Hat Yai Center Hospital Reveal the latest innovations in treatment “Osteoarthritis” without surgery by means of “artificial synovial fluid injection” through guided ultrasound.
At Hat Yai Center Hospital, Hat Yai District, Songkhla Province, Dr. Sunthon Srisuwan, professor of orthopedic surgery, said that at present, Thailand has fully entered an aging society. The disease is common in almost all elderly people. one of them is “Osteoarthritis” and “artificial fluid injection” are one methods of treating osteoarthritis. which is very popular nowadays
“Artificial synovial fluid injection” It is one of the standard treatments. high security It also gives good treatment results. There is also a lot of reliable empirical evidence in medicine. This method of treatment can be injected to treat osteoarthritis, including knee, shoulder, ankle, etc. The principle of treatment is to use medical technology. perform the synthesis of artificial synovial fluid by having properties similar to the natural vitreous and have a medical professional inject the aforementioned synovial fluid into the deteriorated knee joint with the hope of increasing lubrication in the knee joint Its effect is reduced shock. reduce inflammation in the joints which reduces joint pain during use and may help increase the range of flexion of the joint better
In addition, there are research abroad to support. The trial was to inject artificial synovial fluid in patients with osteoarthritis every 6 months or every 1 year. is to help slow down the deterioration of the knee joints in the long run It also reduces the chances of unnecessary knee replacement surgery in the future.
One very important factor in the treatment with this injection method. will require precision skills and ensuring that the artificial synovial fluid has entered the inside of that joint that is the point that indicates the problem of the disease correctly spot precision Typically, an anatomical landmark is used by clinicians to determine the injection site to enter the joint with a certain degree of accuracy. But there’s still a chance the medication might not get where the doctor wants it. In the latest medical technology nowadays, orthopedic ultrasound has been introduced. (Musculoskeletal Ultrasound) to help guide the way in which injections into the various joints in the body, which this method has various benefits. many treatments such as
1. Used to assess joints, muscles and tendons surrounding that joint initially in order to exclude other diseases. that may not be able to inject synovial fluid, such as infected knee arthritis This is a disease that may require a change in treatment to surgery instead.
2. Used to assess joints before considering artificial synovial fluid injection. Usually very often it is found in the case of patients with osteoarthritis. Will detect the presence of fluid caused by inflammation within the joints. If such restrictions are met Therefore, it is necessary to always suck it out first. Otherwise, the injected synovial fluid will be diluted. and reduce its efficiency unnecessarily.
Use ultrasound navigation to determine the injection site. which can be observed from the position of the tip of the syringe And can see the drug while walking the syringe in real-time, allowing the doctor to inject the injection at the problem point accurately.
4. Used for evaluation following injection. can check for inflammation in the joints tendon function and muscles around the joints
summed up Treatment by injecting synovial fluid together with the use of ultrasound guided It will help the doctor to treat on the spot. and produce maximum efficiency See the results of the treatment very well. You can learn more information at www.thedoctorbone.com
