---

To compare the effect of two different corticosteroid types in bilateral and symmetrical knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods: One hundred and twenty-six patients received injections of methylprednisolone acetate (MP) in one knee and triamcinolone
hexacetonide (TH) in the contralateral knee. Patients were evaluated before injection and 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 weeks after. Results: Mean
patient age was 68.5±9 years. Mean BMI was 26.3±2.6 kg/m2 At first admission, mean VAS score was 7.7±1.3 for the right
side and 7.5±1.5 for the left side, and mean WOMAC score was 67.6±14.4. After bilateral intra-articular injection, VAS scores for
both knees and WOMAC scores decreased significantly when initial scores were compared with 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 weeks after
injection (p
