Abstract
Corticosteroids injections are a common nonsurgical treatment for musculoskeletal conditions. There are a variety of corticosteroids for providers to choose from, but there is little empirical evidence to suggest the use of one over the other for a particular condition. Dexamethasone and triamcinolone acetonide (Kenalog) are 2 such corticosteroids in which the decision to use one is often due to provider opinion or anecdotal evidence. This brief review notes the outcomes of studies comparing these 2 corticosteroids to create a guide for providers.
