Injections or infiltrations are often used to treat some types of arthritis, bursitis and some types of tendinopathy. Which products are used? Corticosteroids, procaine/xylocaine/lidocaine, hyaluronic acid, platelet rich plasma (PRP, sclerosing products?
Sometimes it is also useful to use “diagnostic” infiltrations, to confirm or te exclude a hypothetical diagnosis.
Reaching a good diagnosis is a priority as well as the practical part of the injection/infiltration procedures.
I would like to share some references with you that highlight the efficiency of certain procedures.
