Brief Summary:
The study aims to evaluate clinically and radiographically the effectiveness of arthrocentesis and injection of I-PRF with wearing ARS in comparison to arthrocentesis and ARS only.
Detailed Description:
The patient will be seated at a 45° angle with the head turned toward the unaffected side. After preparing and disinfecting the target site with betadine, two points will be marked over the affected joint. Local anesthesia will be administered to block the auriculotemporal nerve. Using 19-gauge needles, the superior joint space will be distended with 2-3 ml of Ringer's solution. Another needle will be inserted into the distended compartment near the articular eminence to facilitate solution flow. Lactated Ringer's solution, connected to one needle, will be infused with sufficient pressure (200 mL in 15-20 minutes) to release adhesions. Following the removal of one needle, 2 ml of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) will be injected into the superior joint space.
For the preparation of injectable PRF, 20 ml of the patient's blood will be drawn and divided into two 10 ml vaccutainers. After centrifugation, the obtained PRF will be aspirated into a 5 ml syringe, and 1.5 to 2 ml of PRF will be injected into the superior joint space.
