Osteoarthritis. A new neurological method of pain control.
A new method of treating osteoarthritis of the knee involving the intraneural injection of a depot steroid is described. The results are superior to those produced by the more conventional systemic or intra-articular routes of steroid application. These clinical results throw light on the possible aetiology of pain in osteoarthritis.
