- Study compared corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid knee injections in osteoarthritis patients.
- Corticosteroid injections associated with greater joint degeneration and structural damage.
- Hyaluronic acid injections may slow joint progression and reduce cartilage damage.
- Both injection types provided pain relief, with corticosteroid injections leading to larger reductions in pain scores.
- Limitations include reliance on self-reported injection history and the inability to establish causation between injection type and structural changes.
- The findings highlight the need for further investigation and offer imaging evidence to inform clinical decision-making.
