Remember, chondrotoxicity is dose dependent. Pain relief is not. Use the lowest possible dose of corticosteroid to limit deleterious effects on cartilage. In this well done RCT we see 10 mg triamcinolone works just as well as 40 mg for knee OA. https://t.co/cqZsIlAo4S

Background Intra-articular (IA) corticosteroid injection is recommended in refractory knee osteoarthritis patients. However, 40-mg of triamcinolone IA every 3 months for 2 years reduces cartilage...

Study finds a single injection of micro‑fragmented adipose tissue can relieve pain and improve function in knee osteoarthritis for up to 3 years—and early improvement at 3 months strongly predicts long‑term benefit. https://t.co/vUWJrsv78I

Objectives: This study aims to assess the clinical efficacy of micro-fragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) therapy over three years in patients with KOA and to determine whether short-term improvements at...

🆕 Article Alert! Managing acute knee OA flares: IA ketorolac vs corticosteroids—what's the better choice? 🦵💉 We make the case for ketorolac: effective, safe, and without the same cartilage toxicity linked to steroids. Read why we prefer it ⬇️ https://t.co/Y2lx1qhQmI

Had an amazing time at #IOFMAX this weekend! Honored to present alongside such talented colleagues. One of the highlights was the expert panel on knee OA, featuring @ZachBailowitzMD, and his expertise on high-dose PRP— or as Dr. Bansal says, “adequate” dose PRP. Great discussion!

Just published in AJSM. Similar findings to those already published by @WBerriganMD and @ZachBailowitzMD. Platelet concentration/dose influences outcomes! As you read the literature make sure you take note of platelet dose in the pos/neg PRP trials. https://t.co/rIbGFt8Ozr
