Interlaminar ESI Injectate Question
I was looking at the LCD regarding steroids allowed for ESI's. Dexamethasone can be used with no issue. However, the use of methylprednisolone was eliminated (see below) unless I'm reading this incorrectly.

Zilretta?
Just curious if any one is using Zilretta (extended release triamcinolone)? If so, are you using it for the knee only, or for other areas? ESIs? Your thoughts on this? I have not used it, but rep has come by a couple times. I hear the ortho group in my area is using it. (Source: Student Doctor Network)
