Resumo

As queixas do foro músculo-esquelético assumem um lugar importante nos motivos de consulta dos cuidados de saúde primários. Corticosteroides injetáveis sintetizados (CCT) têm sido amplamente utilizados como agentes anti-inflamatórios em várias patologias músculo-esqueléticas, quer articulares quer de tecidos moles, possibilitando um maior controlo sintomático, uma maior amplitude de movimento e/ou melhoria da função. A eficácia na sua utilização depende não só de um correto diagnóstico médico, como também da seleção do fármaco mais adequado e da própria execução técnica do procedimento. Atualmente existem poucas evidências para orientar a seleção do CCT mais indicado. Este artigo de revisão oferece uma visão global das diferentes preparações de CCT que podem ser utilizados em procedimentos injetáveis em patologia músculo-esquelética, das suas indicações e complicações de forma a auxiliar o médico na escolha do melhor fármaco. A escolha deve ser orientada pelo objetivo, pelo diagnóstico músculo-esquelético subjacente e pela experiência clínica. As complicações decorrentes do seu uso são raras, mas o médico deve estar alerta e compreender os seus potenciais riscos, de forma a aconselhar apropriadamente o doente.
