[The treatment of osteoarthrosis deformans by needle-jet intra- and periarticular drug injections].
The paper reports pilot experience with jet needle drug injections for knee joint osteoarthrosis deformans running with proliferative involvement. The treatment was performed outpatiently in the disease exacerbations associated with reactive synovitis. Injections of 20 mg kenalog were made with the semiautomatic combined jet injector ISI-I. 24 patients received 71 injections (a mean of 2.1 injections, each). Basic therapy underwent no changes. The course of injections produced improvement in 21 patients (87.5%). The majority of them got better as early as the first injection: arthrosis symptoms and pain alleviated, joint hyperthermia reduced, the mobility, on the contrary, increased. Blood counts showed no negative trends. Complications and exacerbations due to the treatment were not reported. Because of the efficacy, easy performance, painlessness, jet intra- and periarticular injections are believed beneficial and can be used outpatiently.
