I perform various infiltrations into joints and soft tissue structures around the hip and knee. These are performed with various infiltrates such as cortisone, hyaluronic acid (gel), etc.
When indicated I perform these infiltrations either in my consultation rooms or in theatre depending on the type of infiltration.
Joint infiltration involves the injection of therapeutic substances directly into the joint space. The primary goal is to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief, allowing patients to regain mobility and improve their quality of life.
Joint infiltrations can alleviate pain and inflammation in various joints. Conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis or joint injuries respond well to infiltrations.
As a general rule, less advanced diseases respond better to these types of infiltrations.
There are several types of injections used in this procedure:
Corticosteroid Injections: These injections combine steroid medication with an anaesthetic to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections (gel): Often used for knee pain, these injections aim to enhance lubrication within the joint, mimicking the natural substance found in healthy cartilage. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections: Utilising the patient’s own blood, PRP injections stimulate the body’s natural healing processes in cartilage and tissues.
