[Treatment of patients with gonarthrosis by intra-articular administration of drugs]
Abstract:
The effectiveness of intra-articular administration of kenalog, hydrocortisone, gordox and polyvinylpyrrolidone to patients with gonarthrosis and concurrent synovitis was studied. Kenalog and hydrocortisone were more effective than placebo, while gordox, polyvinylpyrrolidone and placebo had similar effect. Kenalog and hydrocortisone had nearly the same favourable effect in synovitis. Only one patient treated with gordox had side effects. Signs of synovitis were analysed and its most typical symptoms specified.
