  • Vertebroplasty (Repair of Vertebrae with Bone Cement)
    Patient information – Radiology Unit Tel 0118 322 7991 Vertebroplasty (repair of vertebrae with bone cement) Introduction This leaflet tells you about the procedure known as “vertebroplasty”, explains what is involved, the benefits and possible risks. It is not meant to replace informed discussion between you and your doctor but can act as a starting point for such a discussion. You should have plenty of time to discuss this procedure with the doctor who will be performing the procedure. What is vertebroplasty? Vertebroplasty is a procedure used to strengthen a collapsed spinal vertebra that has fractured and usually lost height due to osteoporosis or, less commonly, tumour infiltration or trauma. Vertebroplasty is primarily aimed at relieving the patient’s pain, to allow a rapid return to the previous level of activity, and secondarily to prevent further vertebral collapse. It is minimally invasive which means that patients suffer less disruption, face less risk and recover more quickly than with conventional open surgery. It is most effective when the fracture is relatively recent and particularly in patients who are very debilitated by the pain of the fracture or who cannot tolerate adequate quantities of painkilling medication. In some circumstances, vertebroplasty can be very effective even if the fracture is many months or even years old. Vertebroplasty is accomplished by injecting orthopaedic cement through a needle into the fractured bone; essentially forming an internal cast to stabilise the fracture similar to the principle of using plaster cast on an arm fracture. Typically, vertebroplasty is recommended if simpler treatments, such as bed rest, back bracing or pain medication have been ineffective, or if the side effects of analgesia have become problematic, such as causing stomach ulcers or drowsiness.

Selective Nerve Root Block (SNRB) is a diagnostic injection of contrast (absent allergy to contrast) of a single nerve root to assist with surgical planning, followed by the introduction of a local anesthetic by inserting a needle into the neuroforamen under fluoroscopic or computed tomography (CT) guidance. SNRBs are erroneously referred to as transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI), although technically SNRBs involve the introduction of anesthetic only and are used for diagnostic purposes. Selective nerve root blocks (SNRBs) performed for the purpose of treating pain (i.e., repeat SNRB at the same level) may be termed therapeutic selective nerve root blocks.

  • Sacroiliac Joint Injection
    Dr Sean White Consultant in Pain Medicine Sacroiliac joint Injection 1 Introduction Before you agree to have your sacroiliac injections, it is sensible to know all you can about it. This means knowing why you may need sacroiliac injections, what the procedure is, and what it will be like, if there are any risks, and if there are any alternatives. Even if you are not keen on the details, getting an overall picture is helpful. This leaflet is a good starting point. It does not cover everything, so do mention any particular worries you may have. Ask for more information at any time. Patients, their pain problem and treatments all vary to a degree. But the leaflet should help you make the best decision. You will need to sign a consent form. This will happen just before the procedure at the hospital. This consent form records what you have agreed to. It is flexible enough to cover the unexpected. Please make sure everything is quite clear to you. Mention anything you do not wish to have done. You can change your mind even after signing the consent form. What are sacroiliac joint injections? Sacroiliac joints are the large pair of joints that hold the pelvis onto the spinal column. They help keep the spine straight and firm to hold your body weight. At the same time they allow limited movement so that you can bend, stretch and rotate. With injury or simple ‘wear and tear’ these joints can become painful. Injections into these joints are used to treat pain in that area.

  • Require Initiation of Oral/IV Corticosteroids - Require a Corticosteroid Injection
    Management of patients with musculoskeletal and rheumatic conditions who: - are on corticosteroids - require initiation of oral/IV corticosteroids - require a corticosteroid injection 16 June 2020 This supersedes the specialist guidance “Management of Patients with Musculoskeletal and Rheumatic Conditions on Corticosteroids” published as part of the NHS England and Improvement phase 1 response to the coronavirus pandemic. It relates to musculoskeletal (MSK) service provision across primary, community and secondary care and is applicable to adults and children. The use of steroid medication is one of the management options for a range of musculoskeletal conditions and in particular rheumatic conditions, and this guidance aims to assist decisions on the use of such medication during the pandemic. It is supported by the British Society for Rheumatology, British Association of Orthopaedics, British Association of Spinal Surgeons, Royal College of General Practitioners, British Society of Interventional Radiology, Faculty of Pain Medicine, British Pain Society and Chartered Society of Physiotherapy Management of patients with musculoskeletal and rheumatic conditions who: are on corticosteroids; require initiation of oral/IV corticosteroids; require a corticosteroid injection. 16 June 2020. © BSR BOA BASS RCGP BSIR FPM BPS CSP. It reflects the new potential problems that may be associated with corticosteroid use in the setting of COVID-19 while recognising the important role that appropriate and considered use of corticosteroids may have to treat patients where alternative treatments are inappropriate or ineffective. Summary Steroids – oral and injected – can be an important and effective treatment for some MSK conditions, particularly rheumatic conditions, some types of arthritis and joint pain. Sometimes these can be lifesaving.

  • Intra-Articular Injections in Knee Osteoarthritis: a Review of Literature
    Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology Review Intra-Articular Injections in Knee Osteoarthritis: A Review of Literature Gianluca Testa , Serena Maria Chiara Giardina, Annalisa Culmone, Andrea Vescio , Matteo Turchetta, Salvatore Cannavò and Vito Pavone * Department of General Surgery and Medical Surgical Specialties, Section of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, P.O. “Policlinico Gaspare Rodolico”, University of Catania, 95123 Catania, Italy; [email protected] (G.T.); [email protected] (S.M.C.G.); [email protected] (A.C.); [email protected] (A.V.); [email protected] (M.T.); [email protected] (S.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-095-378-2273 Abstract: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, degenerative, and progressive disease of articular cartilage, producing discomfort and physical disability in older adults. Thirteen percent of elderly people complain of knee OA. Management options for knee OA could be divided into the following categories: conservative, pharmacological, procedural, and surgical. Joint replacement is the gold standard, reserved for severe grades of knee OA, due to its complications rate and increased risk of joint revision. A nonsurgical approach is the first choice in the adult population with cartilage damage and knee OA. Yearly, more than 10% of knee OA-affected patients undergo intra-articular injections of different drugs, especially within three months after OA diagnosis. Several molecules, such as corticosteroids injection, hyaluronic acid (HA), and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), are managed to reduce the symptoms of patients with knee OA. The aim of this review was to offer an overview of intra-articular injections used for the treatment of OA and report the conventional pharmacological Citation: Testa, G.; Giardina, S.M.C.; products used.
