Steroid Injection of the Appendicular Skeleton and Sacroiliac Joints.

Abstract

Steroid joint injections may be effective in painful joints due to degenerative disease and posttraumatic changes, as well as rheumatoid arthritis and seronegative spondylarthropathy. Fluoroscopic guidance may be necessary for deep (sacroiliac, hip, and shoulder) or small (wrist, hand, and foot) joints. Detailed technique of the steroid injection is given, especially for the sacroiliac joint.
