In Patients With Painful Hip Osteoarthritis, Is It More Beneficial to Offer Them an Ultrasound‐Guided or a Fluoroscopic‐Guided Intra‐Articular Corticosteroid Injection to Relieve Their Symptoms? A Systematic Review and Network Meta‐Analysis (2024)
Journal Article
Brookes, P. A., & Stynes, S. (2024). In Patients With Painful Hip Osteoarthritis, Is It More Beneficial to Offer Them an Ultrasound‐Guided or a Fluoroscopic‐Guided Intra‐Articular Corticosteroid Injection to Relieve Their Symptoms? A Systematic Review and Network Meta‐Analysis. Musculoskeletal Care, 22(4), Article e70005. https://doi.org/10.1002/msc.70005

Purpose: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disabling musculoskeletal condition. Clinical guidelines recommend intra‐articular corticosteroid injections (IACSI) as a pharmacological adjunct to help manage pain. IACSI are typically image‐guided eithe...

BackgroundClinical guidelines recommend epidural steroid injection (ESI) for severe sciatica but there is uncertainty of effectiveness. The POiSE study aims to identify factors, routinely collected in clinical practice that predict outcome in patient...

Trial data shows modest reductions in leg pain, disability and surgery avoidance following epidural steroid injections (ESI) for severe sciatica. Despite their common use, there is no clear evidence about which patients are more likely to benefit fro...

BMJ Open, 13(11), Article e077776. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2023-077776

Introduction:
Sciatica can be very painful and, in most cases, is due to pressure on a spinal nerve root from a disc herniation with associated inflammation. For some patients, the pain persists, and one management option is a spinal epidural steroi...

BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal (MSK) First Contact Physiotherapists (FCPs) are diagnostic clinicians able to assess and manage undifferentiated and undiagnosed MSK presentations. The FCP role in primary care has been introduced to allow patients with MS...
