Longitudinal ultrasound images of representative MSC-injected tarso-crural and radio-carpal joints after Injections 1, 2 and 3. The transducer was longitudinally placed on the lateral plantar pouch of the tibiotarsal joint or in the dorsal aspect of the carpus, parallel and medial to the extensor carpi radialis tendon, at the level of the radio-carpal joint. Images are recorded previous to the IA injection of BM-MSCs (T0), and 1 day (T1) and 10 days (T10) after BM-MSC injection. Distance between the bone surface and the skin was measured in two points at every time. Slight distension and effusion was observed 1 day after all BM-MSC injection, which was normalized by the 10th day. Ta = talus, Ti = tibia, R = radius, RC = radio-carpal bone, * = synovial fluid (effusion) in tarso-crural or radio-carpal joint, white arrow indicates the bone surface
