ABSTRACT
Cutaneous atrophy resulting from corticosteroid injections for musculoskeletal indications is an underrecognized side effect amongst orthopedists and dermatologists. We present two cases of cutaneous atrophy following corticosteroid injections for tendonitis of the wrist. Patients presenting with cutaneous atrophy following orthopedic corticosteroid injections may be misdiagnosed with linear morphea, atrophoderma, or vascular disorders and receive unnecessary workup and delays in appropriate management. Dermatologists play an essential role in the evaluation of these patients.
