John G SkedrosMicheal G AdondakisAlex N KnightMichael B PilkingtonPublished in: Pain and therapy (2017)
This is the first study to establish the rates of postoperative shoulder corticosteroid injections within the first 6 months after various non-arthroplasty shoulder surgeries for patients with high pain/stiffness. These data will be useful for establishing guidelines for using corticosteroid injections along with physiotherapy.
