The Magnitude and Duration of the Effect of Intra-articular Corticosteroid Injections on Pain Severity in Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

The effect may vary substantially in different patient groups and appropriate patient selection is important. The risk of adverse effects was low.
