Corticosteroid Injection

Patients who received lidocaine at the time of corticosteroid injection for hand and wrist conditions experienced lower pain intensity compared with those who did not receive lidocaine, according to presented results.

Published results showed microfragmented adipose tissue injections may yield clinically significant improvements for knee osteoarthritis pain, as well as improved function, compared with a saline control injection.

Published results showed corticosteroid injections within 2 weeks of knee arthroscopy may be associated with an increased risk of postoperative septic knee infection or surgical site infection at 90 days.

According to published results, cumulative doses of injected corticosteroids were not associated with increased risk of any subsequent fracture or subsequent osteoporotic fracture.

At 1-year follow-up, various cell-based injections were not superior to a corticosteroid injection for pain and radiological outcomes in patients with knee osteoarthritis, according to results published in Nature Medicine.

Compared with sham treatment, ultrasound-guided lavage with corticosteroid injection yielded no clinical benefit for patients with calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder, according to published results.

According to published results, intra-articular corticosteroid injection for manipulation under anesthesia during total knee arthroplasty improved range of motion without increasing risk of joint infection.

Result showed intra-articular corticosteroid shoulder injections within 4 weeks of reverse shoulder arthroplasty are associated with increased risks of periprosthetic joint infection at 90-days and 1-year postoperatively.

Results showed patients who received corticosteroid injections had increased medial joint space narrowing and progression of knee osteoarthritis compared with patients who received hyaluronic acid injections.

Published results showed platelet-rich plasma injection for rotator cuff disease may not have worse pain relief and function recovery compared with corticosteroid injection and may reduce rates of subsequent injection or surgery.
