Subject: (b)(6) infinity with adaptis (itar2) study.(b)(6) 2023 narrative of adverse event: the patient is a 64 y.O.Year old male who is here for follow up of left tar.He reports continued paresthesias at the dorsal forefoot and pain at the medial ankle.His pain is overall better compared to pre-surgery.On pe, ankle motion is 10 degrees dorsiflexion, 40 degrees plantarflexion.X-rays show the total ankle prosthesis appears stable, no evidence of loosening, fractures, and in acceptable alignment.There appears to be bony impingement at the tip of the medial malleolus w/ the talus.I suspect that his pain is due to medial ankle impingement.Our next step would be to either have him undergo a diagnostic injection of numbing medicine into the medial ankle versus sending him for a spect scan.He elects to proceed w/ the diagnostic injection.He was advised to be very active during the next 24 hours and work on ankle pumps to determine the level of relief from the injection.Future operative treatment would consist of a medial ankle gutter debridement if the injection were to provide relief.Injection: left ankle joint.After informed consent was obtained, the injection site was prepped with betadine and alcohol.Then a solutions each containing 3 ml of 0.25% marcaine kenalog and 3 ml of 1% lidocaine were infused about the medial gutter.Sterile needles and two 3-ml syringes were used.Hemostasis was obtained and a band-aid was applied.The patient was counseled to expect immediate pain relief and then a period of soreness until the steroid takes effect.
