- Abstract
Although both corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid injections are widely used to palliate the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis, little research involving a comparison of the two interventions has been done. We tested the hypothesis that there are no significant differences between Hylan G-F 20 (Synvisc) and the corticosteroid betamethasone sodium phosphate-betamethasone acetate (Celestone Soluspan) in terms of pain relief or improvement in function, as determined by validated scoring instruments.
