Sacroiliac joint pain is a symptom that can affect the life activities of patients in daily life. Invasive methods also occupy an important place in the treatment of this symptom. Our study evaluated the follow-up results of patients injected with Platelet-rich plasma and steroids due to sacroiliac joint pain. Patient files between the years 2018-2022 were evaluated retrospectively. Patients who underwent ultrasound-guided sacroiliac joint injection of platelet-rich plasma and steroids were divided into 2 groups. VAS and The Modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire scores were evaluated at 1, 3, and 6 months. Eighty-seven patients were included in the study. It was understood that patients in both groups benefited after injection (p<0.001). In the 1st month follow-up, it was concluded that the VAS and the Modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire scores of the patient group who received steroids were significantly better (p<0.001). In the 3rd month, the VAS (p=0.695) and the Modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (p=0.215) scores of both groups were similar in both groups. In the 6th month, the platelet-rich plasma group's results were significantly better (p<0.001). Platelet-rich plasma and steroid injections are safe treatment methods for sacroiliac joint pain. Steroid injections in the short term and platelet-rich plasma injections in the long term are more effective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
