Summary
Intra-articular steroids have been also practiced since a long time. These agents have a
better and safer profile as compared to oral drugs in terms of adverse
effects/contraindications of the later. Moreover, Intra-articular steroids impart a better
pain relief by delivering and also delays any surgical intervention thereby improving the
patient's quality of life.
Without imaging, intra-articular injection has been shown in only 22% of patients so
ultrasound, fluoroscopic imaging and computerized tomographic (CT) are required to ensure
accuracy. Comparing to other guidance, ultrasound guided injection provides easy, safe,
accurate, non-invasive, inexpensive imaging and lacking exposure to radiation.
