Figure 7b:

Suggestion of the use of imaging in the context of intra-articular corticosteroid (IACS) injection (to be tested for efficacy and cost-effectiveness). (a) First IACS injection and (b) repeat IACS injection. Obtaining weight-bearing imaging prior to repeat IACS injection is not supported by rheumatologists and orthopedic surgeons on the panel. OA = osteoarthritis, SIF = subchondral insufficiency fracture, RPOA = rapid progressive OA.
