Purpose: The debate over the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) versus hyaluronic acid (HA) in treating hip osteoarthritis (HOA) continues. This cross-sectional analysis of overlapping systematic reviews aims to evaluate the efficacy of intra-articular PRP compared to HA for HOA treatment. The goal is to guide decision-makers in selecting the most reliable systematic reviews and to provide treatment recommendations based on the best available evidence.

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the foot and ankle is prevalent and often debilitating, necessitating effective treatment options. This study evaluates the analgesic efficacy of corticosteroid injections in individual foot and ankle joints. Stepping Hill Hospital conducted a retrospective audit of 166 patients who received guided corticosteroid injections.

The brain has a highly selective semipermeable blood barrier, termed the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which prevents the delivery of therapeutic macromolecular agents to the brain. The integration of MR-guided low-intensity pulsed focused ultrasound (FUS) with microbubble pre-injection is a promising technique for non-invasive and non-toxic BBB modulation. MRI can offer superior soft-tissue contrast and various quantitative assessments, such as vascular permeability, perfusion, and the spatial-temporal distribution of MRI contrast agents.

Purpose: To describe and characterize the accuracy and benefit of a technique for performing ultrasound-guided needle placement for iliopsoas peritendon or bursa injections as an alternative method to fluoroscopic guidance.
Materials And Methods: Patients with a history of total hip arthroplasty who were referred by their orthopedic surgeon for iliopsoas peritendon or bursa corticosteroid injection for iliopsoas impingement syndrome between June 2017 and December 2019 were eligible for inclusion. Of these patients, 19 received a total of 26 ultrasound-guided needle placement followed by confirmatory fluoroscopic guidance prior to injection.

Aim: To evaluate the long-term clinical effectiveness of computed tomography (CT)-guided transforaminal cervical epidural steroid injection using an anterolateral approach for the treatment of cervical radiculopathy (CR) using well-established robust clinical scoring systems for neck pain and neck disability. Despite its widespread use, evidence to support the long-term benefit of routine cervical epidural steroid injection is currently very limited.
Materials And Methods: This study included 113 patients with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-confirmed CR who underwent a steroid injection at a single cervical level via a unilateral transforaminal anterolateral approach.
