Injections into the knee joint are practically not used separately. They are part of complex therapy. But this is the fastest way to stop joint pain. In addition, drug delivery directly in the joint allows to reduce the dosage in comparison with its oral administration. This is an important aspect if the patient has concomitant diseases, for example, affecting the gastrointestinal tract.

What drugs are used for injection

The choice of drug depends on the disease, age and condition of the patient, on the degree of pain syndrome, as well as the presence of other diseases. It is determined at the diagnostic stage. The most commonly used drugs are in the following categories:

Corticosteroids. Used to relieve inflammation. Local injection helps to reduce the risk of negative effects of the drug on other organs of the patient. Additionally, corticosteroids can relieve swelling, pain and improve joint mobility in general. At the same time, they do not restore tissues and retain their effect for no more than three months, so the cause of the pathology will still have to be found and treated in order to get rid of the symptoms completely.

Chondroprotectors. Injections are prescribed for the treatment of degenerative changes in cartilage tissue in the joint area. They normalize metabolism and stimulate the body to produce its own collagen in increased quantities.

Hyaluronic acid. It is she who is the main component of the synovial fluid, which is located in the joint. Intra-articular injections of such drugs (they are called synovial fluid endoprostheses) make it more viscous and thicker. Injection of a hyaluronic acid preparation provides joints with protection from damage and premature wear of cartilage tissue. Hyaluronic acid restores the functions of the synovial fluid and, in addition, relieves swelling.

The so-called gas injections are also common. This treatment is called carboxytherapy. The technique is used in the treatment of diseases of the joints and spine, affects the nervous system. Intra-articular injections involve the introduction of medical carbon dioxide. It imitates oxygen starvation, which leads to the activation of blood circulation and acceleration of the processes of regeneration of damaged tissues.

Injections of blood (plasma) are saturated with platelets and promote tissue regeneration.

Intra-articular injections

To perform intra-articular injections, a syringe with a thin long needle is used, which is injected into the joint cavity or periarticular tissues. Beforehand, the doctor can anesthetize the puncture area. Since it is necessary to accurately hit the joint space, this procedure is carried out under ultrasound control, to get the needle in the right place. In some cases, from the joint, the doctor may preliminarily pump out the liquid, which is sent for analysis. Immediately after the injection, a tight bandage is applied, no further rehabilitation is required. The required amount of injection is determined by the doctor based on the results of the diagnosis.

For an injection in the hip joint, special equipment is required. In the shoulder - no anesthesia is required, because it doesn't cause pain. In the knee - can be replaced by an injection into a muscle or ligament.
