Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Finding out of the results of intra-articular injection method in the treatment of primary knee osteoarthritis at Hai Duong Provincial General Hospital. Methods: The research design uses an interventional, prospective, non-controlled research method. Including 45 patients who met the criteria for selection into the study. Convenient way to choose samples. Using VAS, Lequesne and WOMAC scales for evaluation. Research procedure: The patient only would be injected 01 tube of Depo-Medrol 40 mg/ 1 ml x 1 time into the knee joint (T0). After that, patients were monitored and scheduled for re-examination at the four times: Examination in the 1st week (T1), the 4th week (T4), the 8th week (T8), the 12th week (T12). Results: About gender, 62.2% were female, only 37.8% were male. The average age was 60.47 ± 6.71, the major age group was 61-70, accounting for 36.6%. The rate of patients with manual labor occupations was high, 66.7%. The rate of obese patients was 60%, the average BMI was 23.15 ± 2.16. Common functional symptoms: mechanical pain (86.7%), pain when climbing stairs (88.9%), and pain when changing positions (93.3%), signs of joint breakage (86.7%), and signs of wood shaving (71.1%). The average VAS, Lequesne and WOMAC scores before and after treatment at the survey times had statistically significant differences, p < 0.05. Conclusion: 100% of patients receiving intra-articular corticosteroid injection had improved clinical symptoms, as shown by the improvement of VAS, Lequesne, and WOMAC scores at the follow-up survey points after treatment, p < 0.05. Recommendation: With quiet good effectiveness, relative safety and low cost, intra-articular corticosteroid injection on the patients with knee osteoarthritis should be routinely applied to cases of primary knee osteoarthritis to achieve higher efficiency in clinical practice at the hospital.
