Painfree Intra-articular Injection of Knee

Description

This transcript outlines a demonstration of a technique for performing articular injections into the knee joint, primarily for patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis. The speaker explains how this method can be utilized for steroid, aspirate, or PRP injections. The presenter emphasizes the front injection technique as virtually pain-free, describing the necessary anatomical landmarks, such as the patella and the tibial plateaus.



The tutorial advises against the lateral approach due to potential pain and challenges in locating a proper entry point. The speaker describes the specific injection site, mentioning landmarks for accurate positioning of the needle and emphasizing the importance of needle direction at a 45-degree angle aimed towards the femoral condyle.



Local anesthetic is deemed ineffective by the presenter, preferring to inject without it to ensure less discomfort for the patient. The demonstration concludes with the presenter affirming that this approach results in minimal pain for the patient, recommending its use in clinical practice while encouraging viewers to engage with their channel.
