  • Title: Intra-articular corticosteroids: an updated overview.
    Author: Rozental TD, Sculco TP.
    Journal: Am J Orthop (Belle Mead NJ); 2000 Jan; 29(1):18-23. PubMed ID: 10647515.
    Abstract:
    Intra-articular corticosteroids are widely used in the management of arthritic conditions. In the present article, literature concerning intraarticular corticosteroid preparations, administration, effects in different clinical uses, and adverse reactions is reviewed to identify areas of potential future study. There is little consensus in the literature on the appropriate technique of administration, and no clinical studies have been performed comparing various preparations for safety and effectiveness. The small number of reported complications, however, suggests that low intermittent doses pose little risk of significant adverse effects.
