Arthrocentesis

In patients presenting with atraumatic joint pain and swelling, diagnosis is typically made by synovial fluid analysis. Management of an acute suspected hip joint arthritis can present a challenge to the emergency physician (EP). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Ultrasound is a useful tool to evaluate and initiate diagnostic and therapeutic measures for patients presenting with hip pain suspicious for effusion. [mdedge.com]

  • Easy Bruising

    If multiple injections with corticosteroids are given too frequently, it is possible to develop systemic side effects (side effects throughout the body), such as weight gain, puffy face and trunk, and easy bruising. [medicinenet.com]

  • Distractibility

    To increase the joint space during arthrocentesis, the patient is usually asked to open the mouth and deviate it to the opposite side so as to distract the condyle from the glenoid fossa thereby increasing joint space. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Inclusion criteria were TMJ pain at rest or evoked by palpation, mandibular distraction or forced opening manoeuvres, mandibular hypomobility, TMJ noises or clicking, failure of conservative treatments alone (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs [hindawi.com]

  • Insomnia

    The corticosteroid administered typically only affects the targeted area, but in rare cases may have a systemic effect, causing flushing, insomnia, or, in patients with mood disorders, instability. [orthomedctr.com]

Intra-articular corticosteroid injection has an unpredictable prognosis and can also lead to local side-effects on the joint. Methods A total of 20 patients (11 females and 9 males) aged 17-39 years were enrolled in this study. [parjournal.net]

In the second case, the patient was determined to have a noninfectious etiology and also did well. Skilled ultrasound guidance allows hip arthrocentesis to be performed by the treating clinician, decreasing the time to diagnosis and definitive care. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Arthrocentesis (synovial fluid aspiration) of the knee can be performed either diagnostically (for identification of the etiology of acute arthritis) or therapeutically (for pain relief, drainage of effusion, or injection of medications). [1, 2] To avoid [emedicine.medscape.com]
