Knee Effusion Aspiration

Book a 1-on-1 Clarius demo: clarius.com/getdemo
In this video Dr. Johnson demonstrates his technique to localize a knee effusion and successfully aspirate the fluid under ultrasound guidance. The next video will show the post aspiration PRP injection into the joint.

Great. I learnt this procedure under the watch of a senior physician. Its really relieving and many patients thereof become very stable. Thank you

[@crvenapomidora9598]

Well done doc. Rarely doctors do aspiration with ultrasound

Great video!

Great USS skills and demonstration of the anatomy. But the procedure can't be sterile without a sheath over the USS probe.

[@mohamedbhamani6555]

It can. This is a no touch technique. At no point did anything non sterile touch the injection site once it had been sterilised.

I wish I could have this right now. My lateral meniscus is just done

Great demonstration. However why not leave the needle in and change out the syringe for the steroid/whatever is being injected instead of having to insert a new needle?

[@mohamedbhamani6555]

The first needle used to deliver the anaesthetic is too narrow to effectively aspirate the effusion which is a thick and viscous fluid. Therefore a wider bore needle is used for this purpose.
