Corticosteroids Not a Contributor in Advanced Knee Osteoarthritis
The use of corticosteroid injections may not be associated with the progression of knee osteoarthritis to the point of total knee replacement any more than the use of hyaluronic acid, according to a presentation made this week at the American College of Rheumatology annual meeting.
David T. Felson, MD – Arthritis Foundation 2020 Lee C. Howley, Sr. Award
Please join us in congratulating David Felson as the 2020 Arthritis Foundation Howley Award recipient.
This is the second time Dr. Felson has received this distinguished award (he was also a 2004 Howley Award winner); and is well deserved, as a testament to his immense contributions to the field and in particular to the OACS Forum series and conference, through tireless efforts and vast knowledge. This award rightly celebrates how Dr. Felson's service and advice have been invaluable and unfailingly generous across all levels of the organization.
There will be an award presentation during the Dec 8-10 OACS Conference.
