| Summary: | AbstractCutaneous atrophy resulting from corticosteroid injections for musculoskeletal indications is an underrecognized adverse effect among orthopedists and dermatologists. We present two cases of cutaneous atrophy following corticosteroid injections for wrist tendonitis.

Dermatologists play an essential role in the evaluation of these patients. |
