For knee osteoarthritis and related conditions, analysis of biomarkers hold promise to improve early diagnosis and/or offer patient-specific treatment. To compare biomarker analyses, reliable, high-qu...
Musculoskeletal concerns are common, yet residents at our institution lacked arthrocentesis training. We created a workshop to teach residents knee and shoulder arthrocentesis, developed simulated ass...
A multidisciplinary group conducted a modified Delphi to define content for the workshop, SASs, and assessment tools. We defined minimum thresholds for competence in knee and shoulder arthrocentesis u...
Sixty-one residents (53 IM, eight physical medicine and rehabilitation [PM&R]) participated. Fifty-two (85%; 46 IM, six PM&R) completed the evaluation survey. We procured data from 48 knee and 65 shou...
We created a workshop to teach residents arthrocentesis and assessment tools with strong validity and reliability evidence. The workshop was well regarded by residents, who applied their arthrocentesi...
To assess the impact of different types of anesthesia on the outcomes of arthrocentesis of the TMJ....
Electronic databases were searched to identify peer-reviewed studies, followed by reference list search and further hand-searching. Randomized clinical trials and controlled studies were considered fo...
Of a total of 506 potentially eligible studies, only a randomized controlled clinical trial and an observational study were included. The former compared some outcomes of arthrocentesis under local an...
In general, there appears to be a slight trend toward better outcomes of arthrocentesis for internal TMJ derangements (Wilkes grades I to III) when performed under general anesthesia; however, given t...
Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of arthrocentesis in managing temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs). However, there is a lack of consensus among these studies regarding the sel...
We conducted a comprehensive search of Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science to gather articles on RCTs pertaining to the management of TMDs using arthrocentesis. This search spanned fr...
Forty RCTs were included, encompassing 1904 temporomandibular joints (TMJs) cases. Treatment options encompass platelet-rich plasma (PRP), hyaluronic acid (HA), corticosteroids (CS), bone marrow conce...
HA + PRP, i-PRF and BMAC may represent the optimal arthrocentesis agents for the management of TMDs symptoms and restoration of TMJ function in the short, medium, and long term, respectively....

Knee arthrocentesis can be performed by landmark (LM) or ultrasound (US) guidance. The goal of performing knee arthrocentesis is to obtain synovial fluid, however, it is also important to consider the...
This was a randomized crossover study comparing US vs LM guidance for arthrocentesis in a single academic center. Volunteers were randomized to perform both LM and US guided knee arthrocentesis on cad...
Sixty-one participants completed the study with a total of 122 procedures performed. Procedural success without bone contact was greater in the US group (84% vs 64% p = 0.02). Time to aspiration was l...
Study participants had greater procedural success without bone contact when US guidance was used. The increase in confidence following training was greater for US guidance than the LM method. Use of U...
Arthrocentesis is a minimally invasive procedure with reported efficacy when used for lysis and lavage of the joint for symptomatic internal derangement, irrespective of the technique utilized....
The purpose of the study was to determine if the single puncture arthrocentesis (SPA) is superior to double puncture arthrocentesis (DPA) with respect to pain reduction and improved maximal mouth open...
A single-blinded randomized prospective clinical trial was conducted at the tertiary referral center for temporomandibular joint disorders. All subjects were diagnosed with acute onset disc displaceme...
The primary predictor variable was arthrocentesis technique (SPA vs DPA)....
The primary outcome variables were pain and MMO, measured at 4 weeks. The duration for the procedure was recorded at the time of the surgery....
Age, sex, and the side affected were recorded....
Data were analyzed using analysis of variance to compare the primary outcome variables. Levene's, post hoc, and Bonferroni-Holm tests were used for intergroup comparisons with a P value of <0.05 being...
Forty subjects completed the study. The mean age for the SPA and DPA groups was 28.3 (±3.9) and 29.1 (±4.1), respectively (P = .52). The sex distribution was 60 and 55% female in the SPA and DPA group...
SPA and DPA arthrocentesis appear to be equally efficacious for pain reduction and increasing MMO. SPA can be completed in less time than DPA and should be considered as a viable alternative to the co...
Arthrocentesis is being widely used as an invasive treatment modality for managing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. The current review aimed to assess if arthrocentesis as the first line of th...
PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and CENTRAL were searched up to 20th June 2022 for randomized controlled trials comparing TMJ arthrocentesis vs conservative management as first-line therapy fo...
Eight trials were included. Our analysis indicated significantly reduced pain scores in patients undergoing TMJ arthrocentesis as compared to conservative therapy at 1 month (MD: -0.82 95% CI: -1.43, ...
Analysis of a small number of trials with high inter-study heterogeneity indicates that first line TMJ arthrocentesis may result in a significant but small improvement in pain scores but without any a...
This 3-year prospective study evaluated the efficacy of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthrocentesis with viscosupplementation in different severity stages based on the Dimitroulis classification (cat...
The reduction in joint load is a potential beneficial factor in managing osteoarthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This paper aims to compare the effectiveness of the intramuscular injectio...
A pilot clinical retrospective study examined TMJ osteoarthritis treatments. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A received BTX-A injections and arthrocentesis with viscosupplementation, whil...
The study included two groups, each with five patients. Group A received five weekly sessions of arthrocentesis plus viscosupplementation and a single BTX-A injection during the first arthrocentesis a...
Arthrocentesis with viscosupplementation associated with BTX-A was found to be more effective than arthrocentesis alone in improving clinical outcomes. This suggests that patients with TMJ osteoarthri...
Temporomandibular disorders are musculoskeletal conditions characterized by facial pain and impaired temporomandibular joint function, limited mouth opening, joint and muscular pain, and noises during...
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of ozonized water against lactated ringer solution in the arthrocentesis of the temporomandibular joint....
Sixty patients were used in this study, suffered from ID of the temporomandibular joint treated by arthrocentesis under hydraulic pressure and were allocated into 2 groups; the study group (A), which ...
The age in this study ranged from 14 to 66 years. The mean age of group A was 29.93 years with an SD of ±11.79. For group B, the mean age was 27.56 years and the SD was ±10.80, the prominent percentag...
The data from the present study suggested more favorable treatment outcomes for ozonized water lavage and it is a promising new treatment modality for the relief of symptoms associated with the ID of ...
