ABSTRACT

The author presents the case of a patient afflicted by pes anserine bursitis completely resolved thanks to treatment with oxygen-ozone therapy. The complete recovery was confirmed by the control with Magnetic Resonance one month after the treatment. The imaging-guided intra-bursal injection of the oxygen-ozone gas mixture can therefore be considered a valid therapeutic alternative in the treatment of inflammatory and overload joint pathology; as a method of simple and rapid implementation with low costs and without significant side effects or contraindications.
