Özet

The use of intraarticular (IA) injections in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) has gained wide popularity in recent years. The relatively low cost, rapid and simple method of pain relief are its main advantages.[1] However, the majority of the articles have reported insufficient sample size with a varying follow-up period, resulting in difficulty in formulating and implementing clinical recommendations. Therefore, the true extent of the benefits of IA injections is still being debated.
