Intra-Articular Hyaluronic Acid Application at Home

Intra-Articular Hyaluronic Acid Application Service at Home is a professional home health service that enables the application of a product containing hyaluronic acid directly into the joint in order to support the reduction of complaints such as pain, limitation of movement and difficulty in daily life activities due to arthritis, especially in the knee joint. Thanks to the Happ Health Home Intra-Articular Hyaluronic Acid Application Service, the procedure can be performed by an experienced physician in the home of eligible patients who have difficulty in going to a healthcare institution, providing the necessary hygiene conditions.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in joint fluid and contributes to the maintenance of lubricity of joint surfaces. In joints that develop osteoarthritis, the structure and lubricating properties of the joint fluid may change. Hyaluronic acid applied into the joint can help support joint movements, reduce friction and relieve pain. The suitability of the application for the patient, the product to be used, the dose and the frequency of application are determined by the physician's evaluation.

How Does Intra-Articular Hyaluronic Acid Application Treat at Home?

Intra-articular hyaluronic acid application is performed by administering the product containing hyaluronic acid directly into the joint cavity. The application aims to support the lubricating and shock absorbing properties of joint fluid. In this way, it can help reduce the friction that occurs during joint movements, relieve pain and stiffness, and support the patient's mobility.

Hyaluronic acid application is not a treatment that completely eliminates joint arthritis or definitively regenerates damaged cartilage. It is an application that aims to control the patient's complaints, facilitate daily movements and support the quality of life.

The effect of the application may not be the same in every patient. The patient's age, degree of osteoarthritis, structural changes in the joint, body weight, physical activity level and accompanying diseases may affect the treatment outcome. While relief may be felt in a short time in some patients, it may take several weeks for the effect to appear in some patients.

Things to Consider in Intra-Articular Hyaluronic Acid Application at Home

Since intra-articular hyaluronic acid application is a medical procedure performed directly into the joint cavity, it should be applied by an experienced physician and under appropriate hygiene conditions. The patient's health information, medications used, allergies and previous injection reactions should be fully shared before the procedure.

It should be noted that hyaluronic acid application may not be suitable for every patient and the response to treatment may vary from person to person. The application decision should be made not only based on the patient's request, but also in line with the physician's examination and current medical findings.

Sharing Medical Information

The patient's current diseases, osteoarthritis diagnosis, medications used, drug and product allergies, previous surgeries and previous intra-articular applications should be reported to the healthcare team.

The physician should be informed, especially if there is use of blood thinners, bleeding disorders, diabetes, immune system diseases, active infection, joint prosthesis and skin disease in the injection area.

The dates of corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid or other injections that the patient has previously had in the same joint and the effects experienced after the application should be shared. If available, x-ray, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging and laboratory results should be available before the procedure.

If there is a known allergy to the content of the hyaluronic acid product or the source from which the product is produced, this information should be reported to the physician before the procedure.

Hygiene and Environment Preparation

The environment where the procedure will be performed must be clean, tidy, sufficiently bright and ventilated. A bed, armchair or chair should be prepared in which the patient can be in a position suitable for the joint to be injected.

Sufficient space should be left around so that healthcare personnel can move comfortably and place sterile equipment. The hyaluronic acid product to be used in the application, its prescription and relevant medical documents, if any, should be prepared in advance.

If there is an open wound, active skin infection, redness, discharge, irritation or a significant increase in temperature in the area to be injected, the physician should be informed before the procedure. The application area should be clean and no cream, oil or cosmetic product should be applied to the skin.

Post-Procedure Follow-Up

After hyaluronic acid application, the relevant joint should be rested for the period recommended by the physician. In the first 24-48 hours, it may be recommended to avoid heavy exercise, long walks, running, using stairs, carrying loads and movements that may strain the joint.

The injection area should be kept clean and dry, and the applied bandage should be removed at the time specified by the physician. After the procedure, mild pain, tenderness, a feeling of fullness or temporary swelling may occur. If deemed appropriate by the physician, short-term cold application can be applied to the area.

If increasingly severe pain, significant redness, excessive swelling, increased temperature in the joint, discharge, fever, chills, loss of movement, widespread rash, shortness of breath or symptoms of an allergic reaction develop, the medical team should be consulted without delay.

Changes should not be made in the patient's current medications or treatment plan without the approval of the physician. The effect of the application should be evaluated during the determined control period. The need for re-injection and the timing of administration should be determined solely by the physician.
