About
The purpose of this study is to determine if corticosteroid injection modifies the natural course of de Quervain tendinopathy compared to a toradol injection.
Full description
If steroids are effective for Dequervain tenosynovitis because of their anti-inflammatory properties, then there is a reasonable and rational argument to be made for the local injection of NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) into the first dorsal extensor compartment. Ketorolac is an NSAID that has been proven efficacious in the treatment of another musculoskeletal condition. Moreover, compared to betamethasone (or other injectable corticosteroids), injection of ketorolac decreases the patient exposure to the potential side-effects of corticosteroids, especially that of elevation of blood sugar levels in diabetics.
