Abstract
Clinical, laboratory and sonographic follow up examinations
were carried out 4 weeks after the sonographic guided intra_articular
injection of methylprednisolone acetate, with particular attention
being paid to reproducing the baseline scanning approach.
The data were collected and the results showed that:
There were highly significant differences in MS, VAS,
swelling, tenderness, synovial thickness and RI between before and
4weeks after intra_articular injection of glucocorticoids (p<O.O 1) but
there were insignificant difference in AI, ESR and CRP between
before and 4weeks after intra articular injection of glucocorticoids.
There was a significant negative correlation between RI and
both swelling and tenderness before and 4 weeks after intra_articular
injection of glucocorticoids.
There was also a highly significant negative correlation
between RI and 4 weeks after VAS before intra_articular injection of
gl ucocorticoids.
There were no significant correlations between RI and MS, AI,
ESR or CRP either before or 4 weeks after intra_articular injection
of glucocorticoids.
There was insignificant correlation between synovial
thicknesses and tenderness or VAS before and 4 weeks after
intra_articular injection of glucocorticoids.
There was insignificant correlation between synovial
thicknesses and swelling before intra articular injection of
