| Abstract |
Intraarticular injections, mainly using long-lasting corticosteroid suspensions, have long been used to treat knee osteoarthritis. Viscosupplementation is a relatively new approach with injection of a variety of agents. When comparing viscosupplementation with intraarticular injections of corticosteroids from baseline to the fourth week, steroids have been more effective for pain relief. By the fourth week they provide similar relief, but beyond that viscosupplementation appears to provide greater pain reduction. The delayed onset of symptomatic improvement combined with reports of reactive synovitis may discourage physicians and patients. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 November 2017.
All research outputs
#6,238,835
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research
#1,656
of 7,298 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#46,830
of 202,006 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research
#19
of 139 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,298 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 202,006 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 139 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
