ila genus

Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions. There's too much guesswork, so I had to leave this one unresolved.

Just checked: 'knee joint', in proper Latin, would be 'articulatio genus'. Can't see how that would come out as 'ila' unless the typewriter suddenly seized up. It is a rather badly typed document.

Thank you for your suggestions.
'i a' appeared in exactly this form in the previous (related) document that came my way, and both times I've taken it to mean 'intraarticular', although, confusingly, it was followed by 'cps' (capsules?) in the previous document.

I'll give some more thought to your 'ligament' suggestion tomorrow.

Just thought of something else, prompted by your suggestion

ila = xxxxxx anterior ligament?

or gel?

Biolevox ONE is a hyaluronic acid, an intraarticular gel 2.5%, a pre-filled syringe 4.8 ml. Sodium hyaluronate is obtained by bacterial fermentation and is used as a viscoelastic gel to supplement the intra-articular connective tissue. It is sterile and apyrogen. It is injected into the knee to relieve pain and decreased articular mobility associated with degenerative knee lesions. As a one of the few on the market, it has the highest content of hyaluronic acid in a single dose.

FUNCTION
The synovial fluid contains physiologically hyaluronic acid which is responsible for viscoelastic properties allowing, through lubricant properties, painless joint movements. It also participates to the nutrition of the cartilage. Intra-articular supplementation of the synovial fluid by hyaluronic acid injections improves the viscoelastic properties of the synovial fluid.

could ila genus = knee joint?

20:35 Oct 14, 2018 

so,
i.a. = intrarticular?

This is an intraarticular injection of Biolevox. The only logical explanation I can think of is that 'ila' refers to the 'approach' chosen for the injection: inferior lateral anterior?
This is guesswork, as I haven't found any other examples.
It calls for a footnote.
