Conditions

Osteoarthritis of the Glenohumeral Joint

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

PROCEDUREintraarticular corticosteroid injections (IACSI)

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

DEVICEUltrasound

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

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.
