The battle over these 17 Aboriginal skeletons illustrates a growing tension that has developed in recent years between the demands of scientific rationality and the desires of cultural identity. At the heart of the debate is the issue of who owns knowledge. Museums and research institutions across the world house hundreds of thousands of bones, skulls and skeletons, largely collected over the past two hundred years, and often in unsavoury circumstances.
Knee arthrocentesis may be done via a parapatellar approach (which is generally preferred), , a suprapatellar approach, or an infrapatellar approach. Once the insertion site is chosen, prepare the skin with sterile solution, allow drying, and then drape.
These cysts in the back of the knee usually restrict normal range of motion and are painful for the patient. As a result, weâll often recommended drainage before we undertake stem cell therapy for the knee. Bakerâs cysts are usually treated by draining them in a blind fashion (without guidance) and then injecting high dose steroids. This helps for awhile, but then the cyst comes back. Many patients undergo surgery, but this is invasive and requires a lot of downtime and has higher risks than injection.
