only that in comparison w steroid shots, “hyaluronic acid injections were associated with slower progression of the disease relative to a control group.” (in the 2nd study 26 patients were given the HA and their corresponding MRI scan showed less severe cartilage deterioration vs those in steroid grp)

as i understand the two studies will be presented this week Radiological Society of North America’s annual meeting.
