Bruno R da Costa, Roman Hari, Peter Jüni, Bruno R da Costa, Roman Hari, Peter Jüni

Abstract

Clinical question: Are intra-articular corticosteroids associated with improvement in pain and physical function compared with sham injection or no intervention in patients with knee osteoarthritis?

Bottom line: Intra-articular corticosteroids may be associated with moderate improvement in pain and a small improvement in physical function up to 6 weeks after injection. However, the quality of the evidence is low.
