Efficacy of Intra-Articular Corticosteroid Injection for Nonsurgical Management of Trapeziometacarpal Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
J Hand Surg Am . 2024 Jun;49(6):511-525. doi: 10.1016/j.jhsa.2024.02.001.10 studies with a total of 673 patients diagnosed with trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis (TMC OA) were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the efficacy of intra-articular corticosteroid injections with alternative injection types, such as hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma. Pooled outcomes assessed included visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, grip strength, and pinch strength at short- and medium-term follow-up intervals. The results indicated no statistically significant differences in pain relief or functional outcomes between corticosteroids and the alternative treatments across these intervals.
