Osteoarthritis of the Glenohumeral Joint
Conditions
Brief summary
This study will examine the effectiveness of a single cortisone injection in patients with shoulder osteoarthritis over a 6-month period, and identify clinical and radiographic factors to help predict how a patient with shoulder osteoarthritis will respond to a cortisone injection utilizing ultrasound guidance.
Detailed description
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of intraarticular corticosteroid injections (IACSI) for glenohumeral arthritis by 1) through patient-reported outcomes and 2) identifying clinical and radiographic predictors of IACSI success.
Interventions
ultrasound-guided IACSI will be administered
Corticosteroid will be administered is used to treat pain and swelling that occurs with arthritis and other joint disorder
ultrasound-guided IACSI

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Patients with a diagnosis of symptomatic primary osteoarthritis of the shoulder will be recruited from the patient population seeking treatment at the Orthopaedics Sports Medicine Institute. * those who have failed previous treatment including over-the-counter analgesics and activity modification * have elected to receive a medically-indicated, ultrasound-guided IACSI in the shoulder.
Exclusion criteria
* Patients will be excluded from the study for any of the following reasons: * Post traumatic osteoarthritis * Inflammatory osteoarthritis * Imaging confirmed rotator cuff tear * Prior ipsilateral shoulder surgery * Memory loss or inability to complete study measures * History of allergy to injection medications * Diabetic patients with patient-reported fasting blood glucose \>200 * Prior injection in the ipsilateral shoulder within three months

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ASES Scores at Each Time Point | Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months | ASES (American Shoulder & Elbow Surgeon) score. Data points a change for all pre-specified time points and is reported. ASES has 11 items scored by Pain VAS (1 question) Function (10 questions); Score: 0-100 (Higher score is better). |
| Visual Analog Scale Scores at Each Time Point. | Baseline, post-injection (5-10 minutes), 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months | VAS (Visual Analog Scale) pain score improvement \> 1.4 points (The number that the respondent indicates on the scale to rate their pain intensity is recorded. Scores range from 0=no pain and 10=worst pain). The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between 0=no pain and 10=worst pain. |
| SST (Simple Shoulder Test) Scores at Each Time Point | Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months | SST (Simple Shoulder Test) score improvement \> 2.4 points. 12 items that are answered yes/no (measures functional limitations of the affected shoulder): Scored: 0-12 (Higher score is better) |
