Preoperative Corticosteroid Injection Timing and Revision Risk After Midfoot Arthrodesis

Key Points

• Revision risk increases with corticosteroid injections administered close to surgery, suggesting optimal timing is crucial.
• The study identifies the impact of corticosteroid timing on midfoot arthrodesis outcomes, with specific attention to revision rates.
• Retrospective cohort study evaluating patients who underwent midfoot arthrodesis between 2015 and 2020.
• Findings highlight the necessity for careful planning in corticosteroid use to mitigate surgical complications.
