Abstract:
Chronic foot and ankle pain seriously decreases the health-related quality of life, especially among older people. It is important to look for treatment modalities that are safe and effective. Over the last two decades, isotonic sugar water injections have received more attention among clinicians worldwide. Clinicians have been injecting glucose or dextrose 5% into the carpal tunnel, epidurally, into joint cavities, perineural and into soft tissues such as muscles, tendons and ligaments. In this article, the focus is on periarticular and perineural injections in the ankle region.
