The two articles in this month’s
press of The Journal of Arthritis, one by Ekinci et al. titled ‘A New
Treatment Option in Osteoarthritis, Prolotherapy Injections’ and the other
by Senatorov et al. titled ‘Clinical Outcome of Hylan G-F 20 Injections in
Shoulder and Hip Osteoarthritis.
A Retrospective Review’ raise
several important points surrounding the topic of intra-articular injections.
Firstly that there is a paucity of high quality literature in the field that
often leads to inconclusive or misrepresented conclusions on drug efficacy in
established treatments.
The articles also highlight the
heterogeneity in injection procedure, site, concentration, preparation and
outcome measurements.
