The post-injection injury you should know of
Intramuscular injections, ones administered directly into the muscles, are a common way to treat people around the world. But it could lead to life-changing complications if done wrongly or too frequently.
In this episode of Africa Science Focus, we learn about gluteal fibrosis, a complication of intramuscular injections that occurs mostly in infancy and childhood and limits the functionality of affected muscles. We also learn ways we can prevent this injury in the future.
