HYDROCORTISONE AND CORTISONE INJECTED INTO ARTHRITIC JOINTS: COMPARATIVE EFFECTS OF AND USE OF HYDROCORTISONE AS A LOCAL ANTIARTHRITIC AGENT
Abstract
The antirheumatic effect of cortisone administered parenterally or orally has been documented in numerous reports1during the past two years, but little has been written about cortisone administered locally into the arthritic joint. Apparently Thorn2was the first to instill an adrenal cortical hormone directly into a rheumatoid arthritic joint. Early in 1950 he injected 10 mg. of hydrocortisone (17-hydroxycorticosterone or compound F) into the inflamed knee of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis and noted a prompt local alleviating effect. Since this was coincident with a general improvement in the condition of the patient, it was felt that the action was systemic and no further experiments were conducted along this line. Cortisone has been used locally with encouraging results in various inflammatory diseases of the eye.3Some reports have claimed benefit from direct application of cortisone in certain skin diseases.4 Since a locally used anti-inflammatory agent

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
