disagree  Dietrich Herrmann, MD, PhD, MBA: see below. Besides, it would be INTRAarterial since interarterial would imply "between arteries".

intraarticular injection


Explanation:
If you administer bupivocaine via the intraarterial route you most certainly will kill the patient because of cardiac arrest!

In this context "i.a." means intraarterial - in other words: because of the knee damage they administered bupivacaine into the joint on the medial side. And they also recommended arthroscopy.
That is standard procedure in knee trauma if somewhat major damage is suspected clinically.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Jacqueline van der Spek: the answer to the question should be then: an intra-articular injection of Bupivacaine on the medial side of the knee. Surely there must be a shorter way to say this, though.
