Thirty-five patients with osteoarthritis of the hip were injected. All patients were admitted as day cases and the procedure was performed in a laminar flow theatre under full aseptic conditions. The hip was aspirated before injection. Aspirate and injecting needles were sent for microbiological examination. Both aerobic and anaerobic cultures were performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>All patients were followed up for three months after hip injection. Microbiology results were not revealed to reviewing clinicians. All patients were reviewed at two weeks and at twelve weeks.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Thirty-three patients (94.3%) had no growth in the samples. Two cases out of thirty-five hips had a positive culture but none of the patients went on to develop clinical sepsis. Patient response for pain in the hip was graded using a 10 point visual analogue scale (VAS) with 10 point as maximum pain and 0 points as no pain. Pre-injection the patient VAS for pain was a mean value of 6.4 \u00b10.77 (median, 6). The mean value of VAS score at 2 weeks dropped to 2.6 \u00b12.7 with median of 2. This difference was highly significant (p=0.003). At 12 weeks mean VAS score was 2.7 \u00b1 2.5 with median value of 2 (p=001). Three patients were worse after the injection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>We found the hip injection to be safe. The risk of bacterial contamination is low provided a strict aseptic protocol is observed. In this study, one third of the patients had excellent pain relief for 3 months after the injection but in two thirds of cases it failed to provide complete, long-term pain relief (&gt; 3 months).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/112070000201200405","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,26]],"date-time":"2018-01-26T11:54:21Z","timestamp":1516967661000},"page":"378-382","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Safety and Efficacy of Intra-Articular Injection of the Hip"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Waseem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Stepping Hill Hospital, Stockport -
