Despite their widespread use, the side effects of IA bupivacaine on joint cartilage as well as hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic effects remain to be elucidated. The aim of this study is to assess the\n                    <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                    effect of bupivacaine 5% on donkey chondrocytes at different time points, in addition to the\n                    <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>\n                    effects of a single IA bupivacaine injection on the middle carpal joint in a group of 10 clinically healthy adult male donkeys. In phase I, the effect of\n                    <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                    treatment with bupivacaine 5% or saline 0.9% on freshly isolated donkey chondrocytes for 30, 60 min, 24, 48, and 96 h was investigated using MTT and LIVE\/DEAD assay. In phase II,\n                    <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>\n                    effects of single injection of bupivacaine on the middle carpal joint of the donkey were evaluated compared with saline 0.9%. Biochemical analysis of collected serum and synovia was performed. Additionally, articular cartilage damage was evaluated using radiography, computed tomography (CT), catabolic marker expression\n                    <jats:italic>via<\/jats:italic>\n                    quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and histopathological examination 96 h after injection. Our results showed that after a 30-min exposure to bupivacaine 5%, the viability of donkey chondrocytes was 97.3 \u00b1 4.4% and was not significantly affected at the indicated time points (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 8,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt; 0.05). No significant changes in biochemical analytes of serum and synovial fluid following IA bupivacaine injection were observed, compared with saline injection (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 5 for each group,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt; 0.05). Furthermore,\n                    <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>\n                    IA injection of bupivacaine revealed no significant differences in radiography, CT scan, gene expression of cartilage catabolic biomarkers, and histopathological examination. These results provide an evidence for the safety of bupivacaine on the donkey cartilage.\n
