Experimentally induced corticosteroid arthropathy

TLDR
The correlation between certain pre-existing patterns of cartilage histology and susceptibility to degenerative change may provide a clue to the localization of degenerative joint disease in humans.
Abstract
Intraarticular injections of triamcinolone acetonide resulted in deleterious changes in living rabbit articular knee cartilage. These changes were characterized by an increased frequency of chondrocyte nuclear degeneration and prominent cyst formation as compared with control animals. Degenerative changes were localized to the cartilage of the medial tibial plateau. This localization may be related to the different histologic pattern seen in this cartilage surface as compared to other areas of the knee. The correlation between certain pre-existing patterns of cartilage histology and susceptibility to degenerative change may provide a clue to the localization of degenerative joint disease in humans.

Effect of Intra-articular Triamcinolone vs Saline on Knee Cartilage Volume and Pain in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

TL;DR: 2 years of intra-articular triamcinolone, compared with intra-artsicular saline, resulted in significantly greater cartilage volume loss and no significant difference in knee pain, and these findings do not support this treatment for patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.

Experimentally induced degenerative joint lesions following partial meniscectomy in the rabbit.

TL;DR: Degenerative lesions characterized by osteochondrophyte spur formation and cartilage degeneration were induced by partial meniscectomy in the rabbit knee and may be useful in studies of osteoarthritis pathogenesis, pathology and treatment.

Intra-articular triamcinolone hexacetonide in knee osteoarthritis: factors influencing the clinical response.

TL;DR: THA provided short term pain relief in knee OA and increased benefit was associated with both clinical evidence of joint effusion and successful aspiration of synovial fluid at the time of injection.

Charcot-like Arthropathy Following Intra-Articular Hydrocortisone

TL;DR: Pathology obtained during a compression arthrodesis procedure showed changes comparable to that of a Charcot-like joint, and the possible relationship of such a change to the repeated injections of steroids is discussed.
