Osteo-arthritis of the hip treated by intraneural injection. A simplified technique for the relief of intractable osteo-arthritic pain.
A new method of treating osteo-arthritis of the hip involving an intraneural injection of a depot steroid, Triamcinolone Hexacetonide, is described. The results are superior to the more conventional method of systemic or intra-articular route of steroid administration. The rapidity of action in the relief of spasm and pain would tend to confirm similar results shown in a previous article in the Journal.
