Similar 3-month efficacy for single-injection corticosteroid & hyaluronic acid in knee OA
Springerplus. 2016 Apr 12;5:442

140 patients with Kellgren-Lawrence grade II-III knee osteoarthritis were randomized to a single intra-articular injection of either corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcome measures (VAS pain; WOMAC; KOOS) between groups at 1, 2, and 3 months post-injection.

All other measures at all time points demonstrated no significant difference between groups.
