Abstract
Corticosteroids are one of the most important anti-inflammatory substances that are used for many conditions. Although oral form of corticosteroids has many side effects, they are used to cure systemic diseases. Local injection of corticosteroids can be beneficial in many conditions such as mononeuropathies, degenerative joint diseases (DJD), tenosynovitis, and canal stenosis with fewer side effects and better efficacy in site of pathology.
