"Steroid injections on the shoulder were associated with a raised risk of cuff tendon tears by 7.44 times compared to non-injection."

So what's your opinion about shoulder intra-articular injection and RCT? (anche in italiano)

@Isendel wouldn’t the negative effects of the steroid still impact supraspinatures and LHB? Aren’t both infra-articular?

@hikenwoodwork I really think so. Both intra-articular and sub acromial injection can affect the supraspinatus, as the anatomical limit with the capsule is very small and the vascularity can be communicating. For the LHB I think it is much more involved in intra-articular injection
