Compared with the noninjection cohort, both HA and CS cohorts experienced increased costs and increased time to TKA. However, while the cost incurred in HA cohort was greater than that in CS cohort, no appreciable benefit was demonstrated for conversion or time to TKA. Therefore, if intra-articular knee injections are indicated for the nonsurgical management of knee OA, the results of this study support CS over HA.
