Objective:
The objective of this study is to describe the individuals that undergo intra-articular injections for musculoskeletal pain in a cancer rehabilitation clinic, as well as the safety of those procedures.
Materials And Methods:
Retrospective cross-sectional study from July 2017 to May 2018.
Results:
We included 157 individuals in the study. Participants underwent a total of 546 injections, with a median of two injections per individuals. Osteoarthritis was the most common indication for injections (82.1%). Most injections were guided by ultrasound (62.2%). There were six AEs in our study: four procedure-related, none serious.
Conclusions:
Intra-articular injections were safe in the short-term in this population.
