OBJECTIVE: Intra-articular @entity479 injection has been widely used in the management of symptomatic @entity571 ; however, its frequent use is avoided since there is an increase in the incidence of @entity281 and several mechanical side effects such as cartilage breakdown and loss of elasticity of the articular cartilage. For these reasons, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs instead of corticosteroids can be considered for intra-articular injection. On this basis, we investigated the effects and safety of ultrasound-guided intra-articular @entity6058 versus corticosteroid injection for @entity1 with @entity570 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included 98 @entity1 with diagnoses of @entity570 who underwent ultrasound-guided intra-articular @entity6058 or @entity228 injection. Fifty @entity1 who received ultrasound-guided intra-articular corticosteroid injection were administered a mixture of 0.5  % @entity3303 and @entity2713 . Forty-eight @entity1 who received ultrasound-guided intra-articular @entity6058 injection were administered 0.5  % @entity3303 and @entity6058 . Outcome measurement was assessed using the Harris hip score and verbal numeric @entity158 scale, which were evaluated before the injections and at 1, 3 and 6  months following the injection. Univariate analysis (using the x (2) test) and multiple logistic regression analysis were performed to evaluate the relationship between the possible outcome predictors (injected medications, @entity1 ' age, gender, @entity158 duration and Kellgren-Lawrence classification) and the therapeutic effects. RESULTS: The Harris hip score and verbal numeric @entity158 scale were improved at 1, 3 and 6  months after the injection in both groups. No statistical differences in the Harris hip score and verbal numeric @entity158 scale were observed between the groups. The success rate was also not significantly different among the time periods of 1, 3 and 6  months. Multiple logistic regression and univariate analysis showed that injected medications @entity1 ' age, gender, @entity158 duration and Kellgren-Lawrence classification were not independent predictors of successful outcome at midterm follow-up. CONCLUSION: The treatment of @entity570 with intra-articular @entity6058 injection is as effective as that with intra-articular corticosteroid injection. Intra-articular @entity6058 injection can be considered useful for @entity1 with contraindications to using @entity288 .
