Injecting the Dye

When the dye reaches the target area – the space inside the joint – the physician is ready to inject the medication.

Injecting the Medication

The rear of the syringe is removed from the needle and a syringe filled with a local anesthetic and steroid is attached. The physician injects the medication into the joint.

End of Procedure

The local anesthetic and steroid solution in the knee joint will reduce inflammation and pain. The injection can be repeated if necessary.
