Some issues Dr. Jose Bernardo Toro, MD can help you with:

Joint Injections

A joint is any area of the body where two bones connect. Due to injury or disease, the space between the two bones can sometimes become swollen and inflamed, which leads to pain and a loss of mobility. Injection and aspiration are two tools that physicians use to treat joint pain locally without needing to perform surgery.

Both injection and aspiration are techniques that involve inserting a needle connected to a syringe directly into the joint. Aspiration involves the removal of excess fluid, and injection is the placement of medication directly into the joint space via the needle. Both procedures may be performed at the same time. In both cases a local anesthetic may be used, the skin will be cleaned and disinfected, and then the needle will be inserted. In some cases, especially if the injection or aspiration is in a large and deep joint such as the hip or spine, ultrasound may be used to guide the needle to the exact location desired.

In some cases, irritation to the joint can cause fluid to build up so significantly that the joint hurts and can no longer move well. Aspiration removes some of the excess fluid and relieves the pressure. In addition, aspiration can be used to provide a sample of joint fluid if it needs to be examined microscopically for the presence of white blood cells, bacteria, or crystal formations.

Certain injuries and diseases that affect joints are inflammatory in nature, such as rheumatoid arthritis, tendonitis or gout. These diseases may be helped by the local injection of anti-inflammatory medications directly into the affected joint. In this case, corticosteroids such as methylprednisone are usually used. Relief from the pain may be felt right away and may last for weeks or even months.

In some cases, such as with osteoarthritis, the cartilage buffer between the two bones wears down and pain comes from bones rubbing against each other. In this case, injection of a lubricating agent such as hyaluronic acid may be beneficial. It provides a slippery cushion between the bones to relieve pain that can last for months.

After an initial misdiagnosis that delayed care, and might have resulted in needless spinal surgery, Dr. Toro was consulted and correctly diagnosed an orthopedic problem.  He immediately ordered MRIs of the knees and operated the next day.  I don’t know the details, but discovered later that because of the initial delay my situation was dire, and only through Dr. Toro’s unhesitating and heroic efforts, my prognosis is excellent. 

Dr. Toro, an orthopedic trauma surgeon, is respected and revered within the hospital community, as well.  One technician told me that when Dr. Toro orders certain tests they push everything aside to accommodate him, because he makes no frivolous demands, and every request involves a grave and consequential incident that requires the greatest speed and accuracy.  Quite literately, the staff I spoke to are in awe of him.

He is straight and to the point, and acts without hesitation.  I can’t tell you how fortunate I am that I was in the right place at the right time.  I will never stop thanking him.

This review will be posted wherever I am able.
