ULTRASOUND-GUIDED INFILTRATIONS WITH HYALURONIC ACID

ULTRASOUND-GUIDED INFILTRATIONS WITH HYALURONIC ACID
DR. JORDI JIMÉNEZ

Hyaluronic acid is a fundamental component of the human body, especially present in the extracellular matrix of embryonic and adult tissues, as well as in the joints. It is a long polysaccharide composed of repeating units of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine, whose structure gives it a highly hydrophilic nature, allowing it to attract and retain water, which is crucial for hydration. Its high viscosity allows it to withstand compressive forces, thus protecting structures such as the joints.

Due to its ability to hydrate, protect, and facilitate tissue repair, hyaluronic acid is essential in the treatment of joint conditions, cartilage and ligament injuries, as well as in surgical procedures. As an orthopedic surgeon specializing in ultrasound-guided therapies, Dr. Jordi Jiménez uses hyaluronic acid not only for its physical properties but also for its safety profile. It is a biocompatible and biodegradable compound that does not cause adverse reactions in the body.

Dr. Jordi Jiménez has extensive experience in ultrasound-guided interventions and ultrasound-guided hyaluronic acid injection therapies in Palma de Mallorca for both acute and chronic conditions arising from trauma, occupational therapy, sports-related conditions, or degenerative conditions, with a variety of treatments.
