The comparison of the effectiveness between different doses of local methylprednisolone injection versus triamcinolone in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: a double-blind clinical trial.

Purpose: Local corticosteroid injection is one of the most prevalent methods in treating carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). However, the most efficient substance and its appropriate dosage remain controversial. In the present double-blind randomized controlled trial, the efficacy and safety of local injection of two corticosteroids (triamcinolone and methylprednisolone) were compared at two different dosages, 20 and 40 mg.

The value of sonography with micro convex probes in diagnosing meniscal tears compared with arthroscopy.

Objective: Meniscal tears are common in knee injuries. Sonography has been used in the knee to evaluate meniscal tears. Linear probes with high resolution have been used, and the overall accuracy of sonography has been more than 70% in many studies.
